- bgorman 8y agoI use parcel every day at work, and have used it for side-projects as well. In many ways Parcel is worse - Parcel is a giant monolith, so when things work it is great. For simple projects it is often fine. However when you are trying to do something complicated, it can be very difficult to debug. Parcel overrides node's module resolution with its own algorithm, and parcel does not use the same plugins as Webpack for all tasks. This means that Parcel. has it's own category of bugs and you will have to figure out if the problem (vs webpack) lies in the different plugin, or parcel's use of the plugin.
- Gene_Parmesan 8y agoI recognize that you're just being helpful, and I do appreciate that, and also my comment is half-facetious, but.. Responding to someone complaining, "The tooling for X is too complex, there's too much of it" by saying, "Here's the answer -- another tool," is maybe just a little bit silly.
- tlrobinson 8y agoThe parent comment was complaining about the number of tools and configuration necessary. Parcel wraps a bunch of those tools up in an easy to use package, and requires zero configuration for many use-cases.
