Really? I haven't used Postman since Insomnia came out. What's keeping you with Postman?

Isn't Insomnia the same? The parent company (KongHQ) is also backed by VCs @ 1.2B valuation. Whats the difference/better?
Insomnia isn't as far along the enshittification process yet (emphasis on yet)
KongHQ at least have Kong (the proxy), which I guess they can sell enterprisy support contracts etc for. Perhaps they won't need/want to make Insomnia a subscription nightmare?
But this isn't their main product. As it should be ideally.
I tried Insomnia but for me it felt incredibly janky and half-baked. I tried to like it but at the end Postman was just way smoother sailing for me.
I wish Insomnia had tabs the way Postman does. Also Insomnia doesn't really have a save function, so whereas in Postman you could take a request, modify it, then close the tab without changing the underlying saved request (because you didn't save/overwrite it), you can't do that in Insomnia.
I see Insomnia on the same path. Actually I am moving the Collections to JMeter.

For what I need, it's much better and finally I can use multiple certificates for the same https domain for mTLS, which was a huge limitation in Postman
