Following up on the notion that Hugs might suit the casual introductory user better - I see that while you can find it online as a pre-built package, you're normally advised (haskell.org, Kent CS dept, etc.) to build it via MacPorts - which requires Xcode.
I mention this because if anyone is seriously thinking about adding an optional gcc package to the GHC Mac platform, it might be worthwhile to find out why MacPorts doesn't do that. But if anyone from the Hugs98 scene is listening - might think about making a pre-built package a more visible option, if Xcode is as onerous as we're led to believe.
