looks nice when you want to quickly get something up and running! i'm trying to move away from GUI-based, and i haven't really found a nice workflow with just using curl

I used to write Python scripts with Requests or run from terminal. It has a nicer syntax, all LLMs know it, and we all used Python in the backend.

If you already have Python installed, I'm still a big fan of the httpie CLI [1]. It's a CLI wrapper for Requests that provides a very friendly CLI DSL.

Unfortunately it appears unmaintained, and still doesn't support HTTP/2, which is a non-starter for me.
Oh, man, that write-up is hilarious! Hilarious and true. The KISS principle is the way to go.
