I tried vital, and at first sight it is very nice, but they only support a very limited subset of Haskell, perform no type checking at all, don't support the indent rule, etc... Anyway it is an amazing piece of work. Regarding your question about visual programming, GEM Cutter from the Open Quark Framework is also nice. http://labs.businessobjects.com/cal. But they also wrote their own Haskell98 (with some Hugs extension) compiler in... Java.

If you mean one can create programs by creating them visually then perhaps you could consider Vital:

It's a document-centered implementation of Haskell. Allowing one to display and directly manipulate Haskell data structures in real-time.
Looks very interesting... and very low-tech visuals. :-/
Hang on a minute... it's written in Java... and it can run Haskell code...? o_O Now that's interesting!
