Same here. I am not sure where would I even use postman for. I essentially would wait 3-5 minutes to have postman initialized, be greeted with a dialogue box for an update or something, drop a json file for the headers and skim through the output.

But it takes seconds to get up and running with requests-html. And it can do anything Postman can do and more. I have no idea how people in organizations use postman though.

It's really handy for generating test suites to hand to people who don't necessarily have the skills to write Python / node / whatever code. Have worked at places where certain changes needed a Postman collection alongside for people to manually verify that it works.

(Also handy for un-coder people to make test suites, obvs.)

(Also handy as a quick-and-dirty "view this data via the API" when you don't yet have a web UI etc.)

I've worked in a place where test suites started in postman because of the lack of skill in QA.

For us, the fact that you end up writing "code" in postman meant it had a learning curve anyway, so it was a really short sighted win.

For everyone smart enough to write postman code, especially postman code that leverages the scripts and storing variables, a simple test project set up by a dev is going to be very worthwhile. Postman doesn't have a linter or compiler, and it doesn't enable easy viewing of changes in source control because it's just one big json file.
