What kind of problems do you have with stack? I have never once had a problem with stack that wasn't solved by running stack upgrade. Stack is how I got started as a beginner; before that the only code I managed to run used the prelude. I am legitimately puzzled.https://twitter.com/dibblego/status/973710741860630528 …

In short, stack over-specialises for the unlikely case, for a claimed benefit that doesn't actually exist. I am sympathetic toward beginners trying to get started, but stack is definitely not helping, even though those same beginners will claim otherwise. Progress is stunted.

I have no doubt that my understanding of Haskell would be deepened if I learned to use cabal-install, but I don't really see how my Haskell learning has been stunted. I also don't know about any beginner friendly documentation about how to use cabal-install. Can you recommend?

I don't think the discussion is "stack versus cabal." It is this perpetuating belief that causes a significant problem in progress. I realised that I played on it though. Ultimately, it's not a progressive discussion.

I honestly would like to understand what progress you think stack is preventing. If there are legitimate problems with using stack, I would like to understand them. Can you give any examples?

If I told you that you don't need to worry about the operands to the + function, just use 2 and 2, and you'll be just fine, would you say I am helping? What if you got excited over the number 4? Who am I to destroy your excitement, right?
