I had no idea people were having problems with Cabal! It's always worked very well for me. It seemed like one of the better build systems out there.
I suppose a lot of the issue comes from the fact that Cabal is very careful about everything. It seems like most package managers I use have a "try and maybe fail" attitude, while Cabal seems to have more of a "guarantee success or fail" attitude.
