Don't sweat it, in hindsight the tool just isn't for me (though it was great while it suited my needs). I'm affraid one reason for these issues is that parcel tries to do everything at once with as little configuration as possible. When it works: great. When it doesn't: not-so-great.

Sure the out of date dependancies thing could be seen as a problem with post-css plugins that require a newer version, but the unfortunate fact is that in webdev land, everything seems to evolve at a breakneck pace, foregoing backwards compatability. And when some part doesn't match, the buildtool suddenly becomes unusable. (webpack is way less easy to setup, the flipside is you can for example choose your postcss version)
