Hasn't this been a feature for a while...

Just a guess, but it may have still been under development. I think it’s pretty common to not do a release on new features right away.

Yup, it was introduced in August last year: https://insomnia.rest/blog/introducing-graphql

I was similarly (to GP) confused about this as "news", since Insomnia's been my go-to GQL tool this year.

Ya it has. I didn't realize it was so long ago. Made a landing page for it today and thought I'd toss it up on HN for fun. Didn't expect it to jump up so high. Woo!

Love the tool, but is there any way to view the GraphQL schema / docs in the UI?

Not yet but it's been discussed in the past [1]

Seeing as how Insomnia has become fairly popular in the GraphQL community I will likely take a look at implementing this soon :)

Die already, graphql.

Care to elaborate? Just "die already" is not a very constructive argument against GraphQL. I'm really quite curious as to its downsides.
