Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[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?
lit - A modern tool for literate programming
castle - A tool to manage shared cabal-install sandboxes.
fay - A proper subset of Haskell that compiles to JavaScript
AlgorithmW - Example implementation of Algorithm W for Hindley-Milner type inference
threadscope - A graphical tool for profiling parallel Haskell programs
bumper - Haskell tool to automatically bump package versions transitively.
leksah - Haskell IDE
hdocs - Haskell docs tool
halive - Live recompiler for Haskell
hfd - Flash debugger with haskeline interface
nixfmt - The official (but not yet stable) formatter for Nix code
