Well, yes and no.
Such an IDE does not have to follow the guidelines, because as
you said, these are “flexible”. Take Microsoft Office 2007,
completely new GUI, shocked the world.
But take Eclipse. This is a fairly standard GUI, mostly the same
on unix, mac, and Windows.
IMHO, for a Windows user coming from Visual Basic, Visual
Studio, Borland Delphi, etc, switching to Eclipse is much easier than switching
to emacs.
Or take the Concurrent Clean IDE. Totally not a windows GUI. But
easy to get started with. Just install, open an example, select run and off you
go.

considerations
Hi
not sure if this is a real project to build a Haskell IDE ... adherence to the
MS accessibility guidelines. Ironically the VS environement seems
to deviate from the corporation's own advice to the rest of the world.
