Andrew,

I think part of the problem is that it takes a lot of effort to maintain Leksah and most users prefer other editors, so more energy is being diverted to themt.

I myself have been using Vim for decades now. It's really powerful, and it's available nearly everywhere (including Mac).

Editors like Vim and Emacs are not going away. We might as well make the process of using them with Haskell as easy as possible. That would, IMO, be worth investing into.

Dear Haskell Cafe,

There was the Leksah (Haskell) IDE about 10 to 12 years ago. I wonder if you chaps can bring it back for the Windows, Linux and maybe macOS platform.

I have the GHCup toolchain installed after a few mistries, and set up VS Code for Haskell programming, but I still would really prefer the Leksah IDE (this time in native mode) instead.

As for the macOS platform, there is a Haskell Mac for IDE that can be brought for under US$10.

Lastly, why don't you allow Haskell users to subscribe to all Haskell mailing lists rather than go individaully to each one to do that.
