I don't get the love/want for GraphQL clients. Sure they are nice to get started but like ORMs they are needed until you hit a certain level of Team/Project scale.

That said it's good to see a counterpoint to the GraphQL push. With gql, gRPC, etc, it's a great time to be working with APIs.

IME few people hate GraphQL, they just hate being told to use it instead of REST because of a cargo-culting architect.

GraphQL absolutely has it's place, as others have eloquently described here, but it shouldn't be the default choice for small teams "just because".

Have you ever hit a point where you scaled beyond a point where GraphQL clients were usable? Apollo, urql etc. look quite flexible to me, I've never had such issues.
