Is it? I still make my APIs REST-like, but I think in terms of “coolness”, GraphQL is more appealing to people isn’t it? Personally I reason that in my APIs GraphQL would be extra complexity for no benefit in my specific use-cases so far. And REST-like serves me well. But for me I choose this way because of ergonomics and because it allows me to implement the things I do with about the least amount of complexity. Coolness doesn’t play a part anymore. But if it did I would surely think GraphQL would be more cool.
