Yes this is kind of sad. FWIW, here's how I currently approximate
these features using Emacs + Haskell mode:

I've searched the internet for an Haskell IDE that supports the following:
- syntax highlighting
haskell mode
- cross module refactoring
there is HaRe, haven't tried it. changing a function's type and then recompiling gives you a pretty useful todo-list though. :)
- quick navigation (goto symbol,
if you run hasktags you can use M-.
goto instance,
not sure, maybe one could cook something up using grep or even hasktags
find usages, etc)
M-x grep RET downarrow RET
- code completion
either you use shim or the built-in M-/, which completes everything (not semantically sensitive, though)
- "debugging" (not imperative debugging, so no breakpoints, but just plugging in a visualizer/pretty printer for a function in a separate dedicated window, like what http://www.apple.com/shake does on each "node")
i don't know shake, can you explain a bit more? ghc HEAD has the ghci debugger, haven't tried it
So a bit what Jetbrains Resharper does for Visual Studio, but for Haskell. IntelliJ and Eclipse also do this for Java.
This does not seem to exist? If this is correct, this is a real shame, because although I read that the productivity increases a lot when correctly using Haskell, it would increase even more when such an IDE is available.
