I've really come to enjoy using it, especially with Apollo and Absinthe. I now make client-side changes all the time without having to touch the server at all.

I've really come to enjoy using it, especially with Apollo and Absinthe. I now make client-side changes all the time without having to touch the server at all. It did take me some time to wrap my head around the details, but the ability to project many of the requested fields more-or-less directly into the SQL SELECT, and being able to batch things together to turn 1+N queries into 1 has made writing resolvers a total breeze. Apollo and Absinthe are some of the most polished pieces of OSS I've ever worked with – well worth the extra boilerplate for non-trivial projects.
