I am not a power user, but in the last years — from the introduction of new- commands — I have enjoyed using cabal very much. Also each time I download a new version I see small little things added (a working v2-install, projects, etc.) and updated documentation.
There is no reason for two build tools to exist. The killer feature of Stack — snapshots — should be supported by Cabal.
As far as I know, this is already possible today! [1]
Personally, I reported several issues to Cabal and every single time it resulted in sadness.
The few time I interacted with cabal/hackage developers — admittedly for low-complexity issues — they were helpful. In one case some prodding was necessary (and way less than e.g. with my bank, a service I pay for) —F [1] https://github.com/fpco/stackage-server/issues/232 see also https://github.com/erikd/jenga/ https://hackage.haskell.org/package/stack2cabal
