The best thing about React / Relay / GraphQL is the emergence of the idea of using a graph query language. Will GraphQL be the ultimate winner? I don't know. But I suspect this approach will catch on, since the problems with RESTful interfaces are well known, and painful enough to force a change. And yet, once we start using GraphQL, the other technologies get dragged along with it. We want pagination so we use Relay. We want immutability on the fronted, so we use React. It's a powerful combination, though I can imagine the ideas being copied by other frameworks, who perhaps offer a cleaner implementation (my biggest grip with GraphQL is the verbose mutations). http://www.smashcompany.com/technology/graphql-is-the-best-thing-about-react-relay-graphql http://www.smashcompany.com/technology/graphql-is-the-best-t...
