Second, this argument would be easier to accept if there in fact were an equally innovative tool capable of providing all the editing goodies Emacs normally does, for Haskell. But I don't know of one, even now, 10 years or so after Haskell's birth.
Well, vim, though maybe dumb, is often accounted as having better syntax highlighting (I had no chance to prove that, since dont use emacs). At least, the examples you provided caused no problem. Can you present the original problem with ' and ('s - I'd like to check how it does? There are quite simple parsing based on regexps (and some very common "shadowing" principles). You could look at their syntax file, and maybe port it to emacs. Max.
