tl;dr Try parcel I've had some really horrible experiences with webpack. When I first started with it, it was daunting. Seriously, just look at the docs, it's pages upon pages of complex behavior. Some of it fairly unintuitive. It took me days to dive in, get used to it and kind of know what I was doing, and then promptly forget everything about I knew over the months/years. Everytime I have to dive into the webpack related config, I basically set aside a whole and feel a deep sense of dread. This isn't normal. Also, Webpack has horrible UX. At first I thought that was because it's complicated and covers a difficult problem space. But then I used parcel, which is leagues better in terms of usability. I absolutely love parcel and think it's so much better overall. Unfortunately, their team is much smaller and much less used so webpack is a couple more features that make it more "stable". Well actually, it goes both ways, but most of the time parcel has some very small error that webpack might not. Whic is why I basically run both at the same time - parcel for it's speed and ease of use, webpack to catch a lot of errors (like those outputted by ts) that for some reason parcel (1.x at least, I think 2.x is coming soon) doesn't catch.
