There used to be Visual Haskell - an extension to Visual Studio - but that never took off. Too bad, because these days you can download the freely available Visual Studio Shell<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsx2008/products/bb933751.aspx> , and Visual Haskell had some unique features (such as hovering tooltips showing types) that are now found in the F# editor, and should now be easier to implement with the recent GHC API (I guess).
Maybe this is a good Google Summer Of Code project; getting Visual Haskell up and running again with Visual Studio Shell...
