[Haskell-beginners] Editor choices

[Isaac Dupree]

I tend to search for unknown symbols on "Hayoo", which searches 
everything on Hackage (Haskell's public package repository):
http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/hayoo/hayoo.html

I'd love to have a good Haskell IDE but I haven't found one that I've 
succeeded at installing & running yet. (I don't know whether Yi etc. are 
good because I failed to install it the last couple times I tried!)
