There is a very short list of projects that have had more engineering effort put into them than libcurl. Single digits. It's incredibly robust and battle-tested. Just about everything you could want to do with it performs as expected and is well-supported. On top of that, its performance is very good.
We're literally in the business of building on the work of others. Avoiding libcurl seems like an incredibly naive choice to me.
