i think @GabrielG439 said this in a talk once and i've found it a useful thing to remember sometimes:
> Cabal was built for managing packages (a single package) whereas Stack was built more for managing *projects*, that is, a collection of packages

Stack is the only way I could get them building so I'd have to say yes.

I am constantly helping people, especially beginners, who trip over stack, but "not using stack." Cabal at least works. Try nix.

Last time I tried to use Cabal for a project, it got stuck on errors about zlib, whereas Stack built fine. I was in a Slack conversation with you at the time Tony, and you couldn't help me fix my issue. You still haven't told me what's wrong with Stack.

I have explained why stack has zero use-cases enough times. The penalty of repeatedly explaining it, provokes resent. I have resolved the zlib issue before. I don't recall your issue.
