I understand, but if your goal is to pull in new Haskell programmers you want to grab them as quickly as possible. You want them to try something immediately, not force them to invest in a toolset from the get-go. I wasn't interested in Haskell until I used the REPL. It allowed me to get immediate feedback on how Haskell works. The tutorial got me engaged quickly.
