The option "none" for prompt "Which bundler to use?" can be misleading #471

I got started with this template. Using this template, I feel that the option "none" for prompt "Which bundler to use?" is misleading. When I see the option, I misunderstood it as "Bundler is not configured and I have to configure one by hand, so this option is for highly skilled developer". But my thought isn't true. Actually, selecting "none", tsc is properly configured and it is the easiest setup for me (webpack required additional extension. esbuild didn't even work). I know that the current label "none" for the option can make sense since tsc doesn't bundle files. But isn't it better to have a chance to know that "we can develop extension without bundler" and "TSC is properly set up so don't worry not having bundler"?

Ideas for approach
