Generally in Hugs, after doing an IO thing, it writes out a newline. In GHCi, it doesn't. On balance, I think the Hugs way is better, since in GHC it's easy to get to:
Prelude> putStrLn "foo" foo Prelude> putStr "foo" fooPrelude> While in Hugs: Hugs> putStrLn "foo" foo Hugs> putStr "foo" foo Hugs> So it's nothing fundamental, just a difference in what to do after some arbitrary IO.
