Hi @adnanbabakan and thank you!
Honestly, I had just read about Parcel for the first time an hour before reading your article, and I was googling for comparisons between Webpack and Parcel that led me here. No offense, but when you give a 2 to Parcel and a 9 to Webpack in regards to code-splitting, I believe it's fair to give a 10 to Parcel and a 2 to Webpack in regards to getting started, Installing dependencies and preprocessors, and things that I mentioned above.

I see what you mean but I believe code splitting in production in Parcel is literally a mess. And no offence taken brother. Everyone has their own opinion! That's why I always tell people to use the tools they feel the best with! :)

Hi Adnan.
I know it's been a long time, but I'm here to admit that after messing with parcel v2 a lot, now I see that it's a total mess.
Honestly you need to reconfigure every preconfigured setting and then it works like crap.
