Curlie is actually way better because it doesn’t mess with the default curl arguments. You don’t need to (re)learn httpie’s overly verbose command line parameters if you already know curl, and you don’t need to rewrite scripts or snippets that currently use curl.

Then why not just use curl?

No pretty colors, no JSON formatting, some kind of security vulnerability every month. Maybe the last one isn't quite fair though given curl's usage and the number of security researchers looking at its code.

Curlie uses curl, so security concerns about curl are certainly not a good reason to use Curlie.

Curl does output JSON nowdays, but I should try it for the colors.
