The fact that you have to use the IO monad, to me, feels like something completely ugly and different from what I get from haskell algorithm wise. IMHO.

I happen to find the IO monad incredibly beautiful and elegant. Haskell lets me define my own control structures for combining IO actions in a far more powerful and elegant manner than other languages.
