There are quite some people out there using inf-haskell (comint) and larger
number of interactive-haskell-mode users.

Note that haskell-mode project is a bin for many projects that used to be
unrelated, hence there is quite some functionality duplication. We are
working on solving most annoying sources of confusion.

haskell-mode or even Haskell Mode these days.

haskell-emacs is something completly unrelated (write Emacs extensions in
Haskell).

or some such

I never had issues with org-mode so can't help you there.

What do you mean? You install and it works. Even configuration step is
optional as we try to provide sane defaults and sane keybindings.
