Interesting. I would advice to start with plain cabal. One has to learn how to deal with cabal anyway, so there's no point adding stack on top of it from the start.
Nah, I haven't used cabal-install in years now. Because of hpack, you don't even need to write .cabal files.
The only time I touch cabal is when I need to write Setup.hs files, which is, mercifully, quite rare.
With *.cabal project files yes, for sure.
But `stack` has completely replaced `cabal` command for me. I don't even have it installed.
