Obviously you should stick with it if you're happy with it but It still
sounds pretty painful to me...using haskell-mode you have highlighted code
in one frame, ghci in another, resting the point over a function call
displays the type, the Declarations menu allows you to jump to a
function/datatype whatever, type C-L to execute the code in another frame
etc -- I'd say it was worth a look unless emacs brings you out in a rash.
