As a FE engineer I like using it, because graphs reflect the way people think better. BE for graphql can be intimidating though, and the dev-time you save on the FE is shifted to the BE. That's the case when you implement the resolvers yourself, especially if you try to map to a relational model or tree structure. Neo4j have a project to map graphql to a graph database though, I'm tinkering with that now and it seems they're tackling some of the problems you mention. And it needs surprisingly little code: neo4j.com/developer/graphql/#_usin...
I'd like to hear other people's opinions / experiences, but it seems pretty useful at this point
