Yes, most of the time. My Warrior is even harder to stall -- I cannot provoke a nose or wing drop without power, with power, or even in a climbing turn; instead, it just starts mushing gently. That said, stalls can catch you by surprise. There are ways to set up a plane so that the normal aerodynamic factors that keep the stall docile (wing washout, elevator travel limits, etc.) don't kick in, and that's when people die. I could probably put my Warrior into a violent stall if I did it cross-controlled, but since the plane's not certified for spins or snap-rolls (and I'm not trained in aerobatics anyway), I'm not going to try.
