[Haskell-beginners] Editor choices

[David McBride]

Usually when I'm inspecting something, I just go :ghci % and then :i the
type I want.  If by some chance I don't have a library installed that is
needed, I just search for a function or type on hayoo and browse the
hackage docs for that library.

There are ides for haskell, but I don't know how good they are.  Yi is
written in haskell, but I don't know how good it is.  Eclipsefp is
supposedly okay.  I know I've seen some vim integration (haskellmode?) but
I don't know how well it works.  But I have never felt the absense of these
tools in this language, personally.
