I am a "domain expert" and that is why I use stack for Haskell projects. It's much preferable to let somebody else handle the burden of ensuring that certain dependencies are compatible with each other.

There's nothing mysterious about stack. It's just a group of people who step up and say "I am responsible for package $x" and then work together to find stable sets of versions that are guaranteed to work together.

The whole process happens out in the open, for example here is an issue tracking a compatibility breaking change in a common HTML library: https://github.com/fpco/stackage/issues/2246
