The other day I was playing around with parcel V2 and I ended up having to write a config file for something that I believe was included in v1... The whole point of parcel for me was avoiding config files... I feel like this release is missing the point

I think they discovered that if a library tries to provide "zero config", users quickly end up needing to configure something, or reconfigure something else.

I still don't think that Parcel is right for me given how comfortable I am with Webpack, but I welcome a "simpler config" option. Provide language support, but don't assume I want to use Babel, or PostCSS, or any other build tool.
