I started for cleaner diffs and easier editing - I can add/remove a line at the end without editing any other line. Eventually I grew to like the look of it.
That's not true. As long as the comma is used as separator one line can affect an adjacent one. If the comma is written on the end of a line, then removing the last line means altering the line before. If the comma is at front of a line, then removing the first line requires altering the second one. Really different is only the usage of the comma as terminator. Actually this is possible in import and export statements, but not in constructor enumerations. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Terminator_vs._separator
