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. 😄
