A good plug-in system Having dismissed Visual Haskell for being Windows-only, have you considered EclipseFP? It doesn't tick all of your boxes, but maybe it goes far enough in the right direction. AFAICT it fulfills 1, 2.3, 2.5 (but I'm not sure about this), 3, 6, and 7 (ish - plugins would be written in Java). There is also some experimentation under way to implement plugins in Haskell: http://leiffrenzel.de/eclipse/cohatoe/ The Haskell code is plugged into Eclipse via hs-plugins. However, the ultimate entry
