| ### What you get | ||
| Apollo Client is more than just a simple data fetcher: it is a request/response cache, state manager, and React component integration. Attempting to build a comparable experience to Apollo Client with other libraries would require you to write custom logic, libraries, and components wrappers. Scaling that out to all the components in your application would easily lead to a larger bundle and doing so with a custom and difficult to understand implementation that needs to be maintain by your team. By choosing Apollo Client, you hand off that ownership to a trusted team building Open Source Software since 2016. |

Love this! Only other thing I'd add to that list of what Apollo Client is is adding something about testing utilities as well. I think that is also an important part of the library and is definitely not something you will ever see in a production bundle.
