Which platform - Mac OS X, Linux or Win32 is best for development with GHC today?<br>
How are things with Ubuntu? It was quite a while already that I used Haskell on Linux. Today I have to code on Win32 and Mac OS<br>
X. Installing extra libraries caused most of the pains for me on Win32 - for example GTK and Gnuplot is not easy to install on<br>
Win32. Installing GTK on Max OSX is also a hard work, but no problems with Gnuplot at all. Haskell mode for Emacs works fine on<br>
Mac OS X, but only to some extent on Win32. I have not managed to start GHCi in Emacs buffer on Win32.<br>

Since I maintain the gnuplot binding for Haskell - what are the particular problems with that package on Windows?<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote></div><br>As I understand for Gnuplot to work on Win32 you need to compile its C source. Compared to Linux GCC, neither Cygwin nor Mingw are fun to use on Win32.<br>
