@baldur This is what worries me most about GraphQL:

In GraphQL, everything revolves around a schema, which represents all the data in your system and what type of information it is.

This does not sound like enough abstraction between the application and the data layers.

@fgtech Yeah. I had a similar reaction. Then again, the React community has generally not been fond of MVC/MVVM style abstractions so this is at least consistent with how many use React. 😕

@baldur Right. Losing those abstractions leads to tight coupling between the data and the UI. While this enables you to react (sorry) to changes in the data, it will ultimately make for a brittle and unmaintainable system.
