Different people have different preferences, but don't forget that you
can always wrap a Hugs-like environment around any Haskell compiler -
have a look at 'hi' (hmake interactive) for instance.

The next release of nhc98 will feature not just one, but _two_
debuggers for Haskell. This compiler has hosted the Redex Trails
tracer/debugger for several years now, and this tracing system is
currently being developed further, with many significant improvements
already in the pipeline.
In addition, Andy Gill's HOOD library is very impressive, quite easy
to install and use, is already available for Hugs and Ghc, and will
be a standard package in nhc98 from the next release.
(See http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~andy/debugging/ for a wider survey of
the field of debugging in Haskell.)
