I've been working on GraphQL based interfaces for the past 6 months or so, and I think it has a lot of potential. It is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but there is a lot of room to evolve and I think GraphQL is a step in the right direction.

I find the biggest down side to GraphQL to be the cachability of it. REST is much more developed in this area. GraphQL is still rather new so you don't have mature platform do much as with REST.
