So... that's Emacs then?

Perhaps I should rephrase my statement... uh... No easily usable editor 
in existance can syntax hilight Haskell. How about that?

More likely it's because Haskell is the kind of language which is quite 
easy to work with even without hilighting and other frills.

Well, maybe. Besides, my editor does some of the work for me; each line 
is indented the same amount as the previous one, which is what you want 
the majority of time. If for some reason I'm forced to use Notepad, I 
really *really* miss this!
