Can you be a bit more specific? I'm legitimately curious about what the pain points are.

specifically I need GHC with some libraries. Stack doesn't achieve this for me and many others. It's not complicated nor interesting

Like, you need libraries that aren't on stackage? Or what? extra-deps and or the "packages" field don't work for this?

I agree it's a bit tricky to specify a specific GHC version, but I've never personally had a reason to not upgrade my GHC

stack doesn't work great if you expect to just use `ghc` or `ghci` on the command line. symlinking the one copied into `~/.stack` isn't obvs

Replying to @chrislpenner @mattoflambda and
Stack has three things I find useful for teaching: one tool for everything, a "new" scaffolding, and --file-watch.
@dibblego lobbied against monolithic tools (so ghcid instead of --file-watch), but this to me is a professional Haskell concern, not someone just learning fresh.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -
Replying to @shajra @chrislpenner and
what is the "everything" besides the scaffolding and the file-watch? (I think the latter should go into cabal eventually, have deep doubts about the former as workable, in general)

Reminds me, did you ever hear that argument that "slack does history but IRC does not"? Slack does not do history in any useful way. And you don't want a protocol to do it, so that you can do it properly. Like IRC does.
