Truly sad :( The day Haskell isnt "friendly" to work and communicate in is probably the day I hang up my hat as a developer for good

Or, take steps to leave Haskell behind for the savages. Same as many of us have done for Scala.

My approach is to just not use stack

They say Stack-less Haskell is a lost art. It's never been a lost art and never will be, because it's too natural to do. ;-)

I never had the problems stack alleges to solve… and too often I see engineering / upgrade issues with stack first workflows

I did. Getting a new dev from git clone to running tests with a defined config is where it shines.

When I run data61/fp-course, I can get everyone up and running, except for that one person who chose to use stack -- and nothing is working.

weird package version pinning that they dont know the versions of! :)
