I tried spacemacs once but I found it too magic. I decided I should learn proper emacs instead of running a random playbox of plugins ontop of plugin. But haven't had the time to properly learn emacs yet.

I have tried various haskell plugins for vim in the past, but they always tended to break so I gave up fixing my config and threw them all away.

Now it's just plain vim (with some non-haskell related plugins) Next to it I have a terminal that reruns tests when a file changes : `stack test --file-watch` . It's simple but it always works.

I'm not sure if the vim stuff got any better lately, I haven't checked. So if you have any suggestions, please tell :)

Have you tried running tests from stack repl --test? Its so much faster. Id love if i could use file-watch and the repl together.

Have you tried ghcid? In my experience it was a bit quicker than `stack --file-watch`
