I think you are right about that.  Still, I hope this problem may in time fix 
itself: the Haskell community will grow to the point where there enough people 
like you who *want* such an IDE, that among their ranks will be some who feel 
able to *build* it.  (I quite understand that you do not.)  The Haskell 
community has historically been somewhat oriented towards emacs and Unix, but 
if Haskell is to succeed in becoming more of a mainstream language, it need to 
jump the cultural gap over to the (much larger) IDE and Windows community.

Presumably Visual Studio or Eclipse are the right places to start, and there 
are prototype Haskell IDEs for both, even if they are not ready for production 
use.

plenty of opportunities here!
