sounds great - but can I use this without buying Visual Studio first, i. e. does it work with some free beta version or similar?

and, does it then work under wine :-)

seriously, how hard would it be to adapt VH to Eclipse? the interfaces (for syntax highlighting, typechecking etc.) should be similar - in theory.

Johannes, Are you aware that there is a Haskell plugin for eclipse? http://eclipsefp.sourceforge.net/ It's probably not as sophisticated as VH (I haven't tried VH, so cannot comment with authority), but you get syntax highlighting/colouring, compile-on-save, and compile errors are highlighted in the source editor.
