> The preferred tool for writing Haskell though is emacs.

That's news to me. Emacs is a popular editor for Haskell and in general, but I don't see any reason to say it's "preferred". Unlike, say, as it is with Agda or Coq. I use Sublime Text and Atom mostly (although occasionally emacs), and it's perfectly happy. Then again, all I really ask for from an editor is syntax highlighting, basic tab completion and sensible automatic indentation. But for those who want more, there's the SublimeHaskell plugin, although I've had mixed results with it.
