I use for a few things, almost every day.

Getting my outgoing ip address (to check net connectivity): curl ip.mydomain.net or (to force ipv4) curl -4 ip.mydomain.net

To check how a page redirects: curl -v example.com (shows headers)

Interacting with elasticsearch, mainly showing indexes and their health: curl localhost:9200/_cat/indices
