There was no need for the developers to release this on the App Store. Anyone installing a Haskell IDE is perfectly capable of installing an app normally.

They are charging money for it, so that is reason enough to use the Mac app store. If it was free, then I totally agree.

They can charge for it on their own web site. No requirement to go through MAS to sell Mac software. If people are having a problem with this, complain to the author of the software.

Charging money is hard if you aren't a big company, which is why app stores have been super successful.
