I 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.
