These are taken from some of the other comments in this thread:

    * As a consumer of APIs I vastly prefer REST APIs.
    * Highly recommend GraphQL to anyone.
    * I *love* how flexible it is for client developers.
    * As a manager/business owner, I like GraphQL.
    * How I _wish_ I could nope the hell out of our GraphQL dependency
    * Unnecessary complexity over simple rest calls with no benefits.
    * REST semantics are a distraction
    * my experience is just ok.

What I see here is many different reactions from different people, presumably with different experiences and use cases on their hands. And that's perfectly OK -- REST, GraphQL, XML-RPC, heck even SOAP are just tools, and use whichever works best for your particular situation.

Just because it worked for me doesn't mean it will work great for everyone else; and if it sucks for me doesn't mean it won't be a life-saver for someone else. Those are just tools; use them as you find fit.
