No it is not. People still reach out from stack when a dependency has updates and it's not in stack yet.

Nobody cares if it compiles together. The point is if a new feature or a bug fix is introduced in a breaking way you cannot bump your dependency and start using it, or progressively move to the new API.

In my experience Stack solved all my cabal hell. I've come to accept some level of dependency juggling, as I had it with every languages.

In Haskell is was more laborious before Stack (the place known as cabal hell) and it got better than average after Stack. Sure, this is just my subjective experience.

Well I didi. If Stack guarantees that a set of software compiles/tests together, then I dont have to do that work.
