How I switched from Stack to Cabal
Then the other day I had an epiphany: hpack takes care of that boilerplate — not stack!

[RFC] Generate Cabal files from TOML
There are ways to get around this, but it's not easy and doesnt scale: https://github.com/sol/hpack/issues/194

cabal-version for a stack managed project

Haskell as a first timer - Am I missing something ?
The yaml you are talking about is part of a tool called hpack. This tool can be used on it's own (and with cabal-install as such), it just so happens that stack has it's own internal copy of it and runs it automatically whenever it finds a package.yaml.

Using External Pacakges With Cabal
I know this sounds more complicated at first glance, but I personally would suggest using hpack to generate cabal files from a package.yaml instead of directly editing your-project.cabal.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing castle and hpack you can also consider the following projects:
ghcid - Very low feature GHCi based IDE
hfd - Flash debugger with haskeline interface
stack - The Haskell Tool Stack
bumper - Haskell tool to automatically bump package versions transitively.
criterion - A powerful but simple library for measuring the performance of Haskell code.
hdocs - Haskell docs tool
