Do you mean to suggest it doesn't? Maybe nix is better, but can nix be as easy as "brew install stack && stack setup && stack install" ? You are dissing stack but do you have anything better than that?

who said it was easily? Haskell isn't purely for pedagogy. People want to be productive with it. If it takes hours and hours to install existing libraries, every reasonable developer will understand haskellers just don't value productivity and use something else.
Put the goal posts anywhere you like, and I'll kick the ball. I don't give a shit where you put them. Stack is pure pain for people who wants to actually learn, and be productive.

Stack just works almost all of the time. It installs the library, lets you use it, and you can get on with your Haskell work. That's what "productive" is all about. No alternative comes close.

You keep saying that, as if it were true. Keep believing it is true. I don't care. I care about being productive, learning and teaching, which is why stack does not exist to me. and yet when it does, forcefully -> pain
