If you are building an app that works like most other apps that use Apollo then it makes things very easy. If you have an unusual use case then you may find yourself fighting against it.

And in my searches, I've found a lot of github issues where people were running into similar issues. I've seen many github issues of people complaining they spent entire days debugging a single issue. So I know I'm not alone.
