Have used GraphQL for my last two projects. If one designs their GraphQL server well, it is trivial to change query from the frontend as you change the shape of the data w/o taking on more work.

GraphQL excels at the 'R' part of 'CRUD'. For mutations, it's on par with REST. As such, it is probably best to incrementally adopt GraphQL for projects - so it's not a GraphQL vs. REST but maybe whatever works best.
