I use vim for all dev work except iOS. Specifically I use MacVim on OS X and GVim on Linux. Once I switched to vim I never looked back. Here are some plugins that I use: http://github.com/gmarik/vundle -- Package manager http://github.com/Shougo/vimproc -- Required for ghcmod-vim http://github.com/Shougo/neocomplcache -- Completion http://github.com/Shougo/neosnippet -- Snippets http://github.com/schell/vim-snippets -- Snippets http://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic -- Syntax checking http://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree -- File drawer http://github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized -- Color theme http://github.com/ujihisa/neco-ghc -- Haskell completion for neocomplcache http://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git-- Git integration http://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim -- Sublime text's anything command (quick goto) http://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline-- Status line http://github.com/majutsushi/tagbar -- Symbol goto based on ctags http://github.com/kana/vim-fakeclip -- OS X clipboard support http://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes-- More colorschemes http://github.com/eagletmt/ghcmod-vim -- Syntax/compilation checking, quickfix integration http://github.com/travitch/hasksyn -- Better haskell syntax coloring http://github.com/dag/vim2hs -- More haskell syntax coloring I have a lot of Haskell syntax plugins and some of those may be conflicting, IDK, but it works well IMO. Using all that I get a pretty good IDE feeling when developing in Haskell. I also use a tool called steeloverseer that I wrote to continuously compile my cabal projects. If you're interested it's on hackage and you can read the readme at https://github.com/schell/steeloverseer/. I hope that helps!
