I'd say it's less of a reaction to Parcel than to the underlying dissatisfaction with basic functionality requiring a config, which also caused Parcel.
I personally don't understand that dissatisfaction at all, since it's trivial to just initialize a configuration from a template. In fact, detecting the necessary configuration and writing it to a template once seems like a much better feature than working without a configuration.
I find configless defaults in webpack and typescript more of a nuisance than a feature, with babel taking a much better approach of requiring that you install a "preset" which is external to the core module and can be inspected in isolation.
