Parsnips can be really good if prepared properly. But carrots are way more versatile. They can be eaten raw, shredded onto salads, and are basic, starter ingredients, along with onions, celery and garlic, in many cooked dishes. They add sweetness.
The flavor of parsnips is closer to turnips, which are also good, but lack sweetness and are usually prepared in a more savory manner.
So carrots and parsnips are both delicious, but are not interchangeable. I wouldn't bring raw parsnips as a tasty lunch snack.

Roasted with a rosemary infused olive oil drizzled over and coarse sea salt and they're as good as each other.
I have a lady friend who usually gets five pounds of carrots each week who was sent parsnips instead but told me they needed too much whittling to get to the right shape for a proper spit roast...
I don’t think I’ve had parsnips before. But I do love a good carrot. The fatter and longer, the juicer and better. Perfect with the tip cut a wee bit.
I don't use parsnip at all. It's not even available in 90% of groceries here.

Parsnips are not common in the US. In fact, first time I had parsnips was in the UK. Both are tasty but carrots are king in the US.

Strictly spoken I like both, as well carrots as parsnips, but if I don't get tired of carrots easyly, the taste of parsnips starts to annoy me after some time. So, carrots it is for me ;0)
