I really wanted to like GraphQL but ultimately decided against it. It's one of those things that seems great in theory but when you actually start working with it you see all the warts.
The client libraries are too complex, there's too much magic going on, debugging is a pain, there's not a lot of native support in browsers and mobile devices. I don't want to step into the code of a client library I didn't write to figure out some simple query issue. It's no longer a simple matter of just an HTTP request anymore. It's not a pragmatic choice.
