The last release of Leksah is about 2 years old, but emacs haskel-mode +
ghc-mod is still actively maintained and developed… Even if emacs' learning
curve is steep I would give it a try. I recently switched completely to it,
everything started with haskell…
Also I can say that sublime text 2 has a working haskell plugin.
If you want to have some kind of project tree, sublime text is what you
want to use, if you prefer to work from the CLI then emacs would be the one…

I'm learning Haskell as a background activity, and just wanted to introduce myself and get the list subscription stuff sorted out.
My primary machine runs Windows 7. I have Haskell Platform working OK including GCHi-Win, but could not get Lekseh to work. However, trying that showed me the world of Cabel, and I have yet to find an introduction/tutorial on that. The Haskell Platform comes with some libraries, but doesn't have a Cabel tool or anything I'd reconize as a repository, like Lekseh was setting up.
It's said that the best feature of Perl is CPAN. I suppose Cabel is Haskell's equivalent of that, or aims to be. So, what's up with that? Starting from a blank prompt (that can run ghc successfully) now what?
In particular, the counterpart to CPAN is called Hackage, and can be found here:
With the Haskell Platform you should have a tool called 'cabal' which will actually fetch and install packages from Hackage for you (among other things).
