I have to concur with Duncan.
I started using Gtk2Hs for a small project and literally within a couple hours I had a good understanding upon which to build a nice gui as well as the gui itself. I haven't tried out wxhaskell, but trying gtk2hs and it's cairo bindings, I fell in love with the simplicity.

I like gtk2hs too. I used it to make gui for my several toy projects. My experience was mostly positive, but I had some troubles: First of all, it's just a binding to GTK+, so if you don't have an expirience with it (as in my case), you have to learn both GTK+ and gtk2hs simultaneously. Secondly, I'm absolutely not satisfied with a size of produced binaries. I hope, I just made something wrong, but I got a 3 megabyte behemot after compiling and stripping my 300-line program. I compiled it with ghc-6.4.1 with "ghc --make Main.hs". objdump -T shows a myriad of symbols with gtk_ prefix and I have a hard time guessing what most of them are doing where :) I haven't looked at wxhaskell yet. Personally I don't like wxWidgets because of it's overall orientation on GDI API and resemblance with MFC. What is about size of binaries produced using it?
