Yeah Cypher was so good and made everything so intuitive. Loved working with Neo4J for a prototype and then had to face the licensing issues and huge costs and had to abandon it.
Not sure if you everyone reading is aware, but Neo4j did end up turning Cypher into the openCypher spec and that allowed a lot of other graph stores to adopt Cypher as a query language.
If your org is amenable to Google Spanner or already using Spanner, it has preview support for Cypher and graph semantics: https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/graph/overview
