Stackage is a curated subset of Hackage. (Sadly, the main criterion for
curation is "works with Yesod", so you get to take your chances if you're
not using Yesod.) It's more an alternative to the Haskell Platform, since
Yesod always wants newer stuff.
(De facto the Haskell Platform is irrelevant, since everyone is rushing
pell-mell to tie themselves to Yesod via Stackage. We're Ruby now! When the
ecosystem is defined by a web platform, the ecosystem *becomes* the web
platform. This might even work for you; for me, it's a cliff rushing ever
closer.)

My experience from playing around with stack the last couple of nights
have been that Stackage is indeed a subset of Hackage packages, but that
it is possible (and fairly easy - if not very documented) to use
packages from Hackage with stack as well. One caveat - depending on how
you look at it - is that you end up specifying these packages with
specific versions in the stack.yaml file for your project.
I personally believe that both a curated subset of "known good" packages
like Stackage and the complete set of packages like Hackage can co-exist
to their mutual benefit. I can certainly see the appeal of stack - I
rather like it so far.

Well if Stackage packages ? Hackage packages, there is choice:
If you need the added benefits Stackage gives, "upgrade". Otherwise
can stay with Hackage.

There's nothing stopping you from using Stackage in addition to Hackage.
As an example, I used stack to create a new app-skeleton last night. One
of the packages I wanted to use was the FFT package not available in
Stackage. I just added it to the .cabal file, and ran "stack solver":
% stack solver
This command is not guaranteed to give you a perfect build plan
It's possible that even with the changes generated below, you will still
need to do some manual tweaking
Asking cabal to calculate a build plan, please wait
flags:
carray:
bytestringinbase: false
extra-deps:
- carray-0.1.5.2
- fft-0.1.8.1
- ix-shapable-0.1.0
Resulting in the following stack.yaml file:
% cat stack.yaml
flags:
carray:
bytestringinbase: false
packages:
- '.'
extra-deps:
- carray-0.1.5.2
- fft-0.1.8.1
- ix-shapable-0.1.0
resolver: nightly-2015-07-08
When building using "stack build", it automatically downloaded,
configured and installed all my dependencies. No worrying about
sandboxes (because stack handles this gracefully by default as far as I
can tell) and no problems getting this simple skeleton up and running.
Note that I used the nightly resolver simply because I wanted to use GHC
7.10 which I already had installed. There are multiple resolvers
available (for GHC 7.8 and an LTS version with GHC 7.10 looks to arrive
shortly after GHC 7.10.2 has been released:

.. does stack also allow to reference local packages (not on Hackage)?
I just began to learn cabal so maybe it is early for me to switch to
stack yet. One thing at a time :)

I believe so, but I have not tried it yet.
Check out the wiki on Github:
https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/wiki/FAQ#i-need-to-use-a-package-or-version-of-a-package-that-is-not-available-on-hackage-what-should-i-do
Maybe that works for you?
I must admit that I am still quite green at Haskell
infrastructure/tooling stuff, but I have still had a fair amount of
trouble with cabal-install, so trying stack was a no-brainer for me at
least :)

If you have questions getting started, feel free to ask them over on the
stack mailing list[1], you'll find many very helpful people over there.
>From quickly scanning this thread, I don't see any use cases that aren't
handled well by stack, but I'd rather not spam the beginner mailing list
with details of how to make it all happen.
I would also recommend reading the wiki pages, which give quite a bit of
information on various use cases.
