Is the haskell-mode that comes out of the box with emacs (v 23.3) the one you folk use or do you use something more specific/uptodate? How to find out? [There should be a haskell-mode-version...]
To the folks from the (hesitating) vi-camp: Whatever you use, please take time to familiarize yourself with ghci. Its my finding that the majority of vi aficionados imagine that programming is invariably tied to - having a main - built with make - run from a shell - back to vi
This is not how I work. I have source open in one window, and switch between files with keybindings for tags, search in same directory, search in recent buffers, switch between test and non-test module, etc. (and to the guy who likes how files open != buffers shown, yes vim does this too). ghci is open in the other window. :L loads the currently edited module into ghci. Then I edit and :r to typecheck or test a function by hand. Or I switch to the test module and run the test interactively until it passes. I have a number of other shortcuts to insert a type signature, automatically add and remove 'import' lines, exchange argument order, etc., but these few simple things already work pretty well. It also helps to have a tiling window manager and switch focus with the keyboard.
