In addition to all of the benefits Chipp outlined, my favorite thing 
about stacks is how conveniently they can be used for general data storage.

Using custom properties of a stack gives you a way to store different 
types of data in a single file with tremendous ease and efficiency.

If you need to keep track of hierarchically-ordered data you can use 
custom property sets in stackstacks, cards, and any groups or controls 
within those cards.

For details on the joys of using stacks for general data storage see:
