nowadays have with Visual Studio 2005 and Resharper for doing compilation, code-documentation-tips, code-completion, refactoring, navigation, debugging, boiler plate code generation, is amazing.
with emacs/vim you will get compilation and error positioning, code templates, names completion, navigation. refactoring area isn't really developed in Haskell land, although Pragmatica has such tools there is less need in debugging. also, Haskell uses very small amount of syntax sugar. don't know how documenting works in today IDEs, i just add "-- |..." before every function :) try to use WinHugs together with editor, it's very friendly environment. this summer successor of WinHugs with GHC support will be developed: http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com/2007/04/soc-guihaskell.html . as one already said, GHC HEAD now includes imperative debugger so, there is no "one size fits all", but everyone compose his own IDE from tools one need :) in 90's i've seen packages that installed bunch of software required to live in FIDO. may be, it's a time to develop Haskell "IDE" installer? -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
