Stack is one-stop shopping for "stack new" scaffolding and "stack build --file-watch." It also brew installs pretty easily (maybe Cabal does too). If Cabal did this all, I think we could stop this debate. It's not like it can't. Stack just prioritized features like these.

Or Dante... but people reasonably want a single command with simple command-line arguments for the simple cases. Either Cabal builds it in, or I'd need to make a wrapper script that largely delegates to Cabal and maybe a couple other tools.
Is it really reasonable to forgo composition for the illusion of convenience? There is nothing simple about the monolithic software model.

I don't want one tool to do everything -- just a few common cases. And even Dante and Ghcid have broken compilations from time-to-time and need to be restarted. Possibly Cabal/GHC could do better natively?

When do these "broken compilations" happen? On which of my millions of occasions was there a "broken"? Yes, we can do *much* better. That requires good faith discussion. Good luck with that.
