Compilation time is a pain and using homebrew's GHC package could break other homebrew recipes, particularly Ruby ones that rely on native compilation.

I think this is the way to go for anyone setting up Haskell for the first time on a Mac. I agree that this should be a very prominently displayed installation option on haskell.org

Are there any drawbacks in installing Haskell with Homebrew?

Homebrew mostly works fine, but this self-contained version doesn't have any dependencies outside of Xcode and thus you can get it up and running much more quickly. Not everyone uses homebrew.
