I guess it's comparable to Maven, but people usually use Maven with an IDE, and Stack on the command line, so that's not very encouraging. Anyway, compared to something like NPM (Node.js) or Cargo (Rust), its user experience is extremely lacking.

I use Maven and SBT from the command line. In general I don't think the difference between a bad or good UI lies in whether it's command line based.

I'm not familiar with Cargo, but NPM gives me nightmares!

It's not about whether or not it's command-line based, it's that a lot of pain can be patched over by a good IDE.
