Having dismissed Visual Haskell for being Windows-only, have you
considered EclipseFP? It doesn't tick all of your boxes, but maybe it
goes far enough in the right direction. AFAICT it fulfills 1, 2.3, 2.5
(but I'm not sure about this), 3, 6, and 7 (ish - plugins would be
written in Java).
There is also some experimentation under way to implement plugins in
Haskell: http://leiffrenzel.de/eclipse/cohatoe/ The Haskell code is
plugged into Eclipse via hs-plugins. However, the ultimate entry point
to the IDE is still Eclipse's, so there will be some Java/XML
boilerplate necessary for getting a plugin hooked.
Thanks && ciao,
