Why VS Code, stack, and stackage?
Editor
A couple of years ago, emacs and vi were the most used editors
among Haskell developers, as can be seen in the diagrams below (they
cover 2017 - 2020). But as of 2020, VS Code has overtaken them,
and is now the most popular editor, and on a very positive
trajectory (it's a bit hard to see the labels in the diagrams, but
the two leftmost bars in the first two diagrams are for vi and
emacs):
