Possibly a bit off-topic, but I find the Haskell teaching materials on FP Complete great but I've always been a bit confused about their IDE.

It's web-only right? Could I use it to develop something that uses local graphics (like SDL or such), or play around with the Haskell School of Music lessons with actual audio output? What do people generally use for a local IDE? Is Leksah any good?

I'm on Windows, FWIW.




Their IDE is web only, though they just open sourced a good portion of it. I have found that most people use vim or emacs. If you are trying to decide, I'd pick emacs, as Chris Done has written some nice scripts (https://github.com/chrisdone/structured-haskell-mode). Personally I use vim. Also check out ghc-mod and hdevtools.
