That is so interesting and is a point where GPT has failed me if this is true. My understanding was the stack was the choice due to having better ergonomics over cabal. Apparently that isn't true? I Found that stack init was pretty decent at setting up a project structure, but can't say I tried cabal init.

I initially installed ghcup via homebrew but found that did not set things up correctly and had to follow the install from their site, which made things work more smoothly.

stack does generally have better UX. cabal hasn't supplanted it (and won't). But each has their strengths, the right tool for the right job.
