I use wxHaskell for
    http://hackage.haskell.org/package/live-sequencer
    http://hackage.haskell.org/package/midimory
    http://hackage.haskell.org/package/alsa-gui

I find the idea of a platform-agnostic GUI compelling, but I have not 
actually tried to run somewhere else than Linux/GTK. People have reported 
that the portability is not as good as promised.
