Yeah it's turning it into a tool not for developers, or for very poor developers afraid of code.

There might be a market though for people "building APIs" through no code/low code tools like zapier and ifttt. Then I suppose they can sorta test their low code contraptions with this without knowing much about coding.

> very poor developers afraid of code.

IDK if I am a "poor dev" but I find the Postman interface extremely complex and confusing. There are tabs, dropdowns, logins, collections, modes etc. Getting it to work is a chore.

A http request written entirely in a text file is IHMO far clearer.
