You're not alone. I recently took over an Elixir application that uses Apollo/GraphQL. To say the least, making a simple change requires traversing and updating a bunch of code in several areas. For example, if I want to add a single field in an endpoint: Update Apollo, update the GraphQL schema, update the resolvers, update types, update the schema. Makes me wonder what the advantage is. Would just love to go back to a basic REST implementation. Elixir's routing pipeline handles that so well.

I have been using a VM on a Windows 10 and I have to say, it's been great! On a dual monitor setup, I have the VM on one screen and have a windows browser on the other, and the performance is very much close to 1:1. I don't think I would ever need to install a dual boot system now.
