This is a totally valid point. There are now initiatives like https://tech.fpcomplete.com/haskell that gather tutorials for essential stuff, but I think we're far from being beginner-friendly. I don't think there's any other option except for improving libraries little by little, adding well-written tutorials.
Haskell absolutely lacks the soft documentation needed to attract new people. Just about every library could use a "mini tutorial" in their README, at the very least, to allow even novices to quickly bootstrap them and start getting productive without having to understand all the underlying concepts.
