I have started using parcel in my projects and found it easy to set up and super fast as compared to webpack. Let me know thoughts!

When I want to run something basic (a index.html with few CSS and JS files) I always prefer Parcel but after one point if you want to customize its default behavior it can get difficult.
Webpack is well accepted in the community so it has a lot of cool plugins and extensions and better support for issues so for something large I prefer webpack.
Webpack offers a lot of features that make it the first choice for large projects. Along with that, it is easy to set up and customize. π
BTW, I find Parcel.js hard to customize...
Yes, it works great with small projects. It also has less community support.
I'll check Rollup. π
