This is a great list, thanks for this. Many of these I use, but glad to see REST client, which I didn't know about. Have been looking for a replacement for Postman since they went off the "enterprise" deep end. I mean, I basically want a slightly better UI for curl, not 60 levels of "project management" features to make an HTTP call.

If you want a Postman replacement, I recommend Insomnia. There's a free app! And it can import Postman collections, so you aren't totally starting from scratch.

For REST calls, I find Thunder Client way better.

I find that I can almost replace Postman completely with this.

We're in a VS Code thread, but the Jetbrains REST client (Part of e.g. Webstorm) is absolutely terrific. You can easily cut and paste from requests or responses just as in a text editor - because that is what it is.

As a VIM user (IdeaVIM in the Jetbrains editors), this is even easier, because text editing (as opposed to writing) is where VIM shines.
