Same here, moved from postman to insomnia, now mostly using the rest plugin for visual studio code. Prefer using regular text files.

I similarly use restclient.el on Emacs and love it.
For those unfamiliar with these plugins, they allow you to simply write text files looking like:
GET https://example.com/posts/5
Accept: application/json
or POST https://example.com/posts
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer abc
{"title": "foo", "body": "bar"}
and simply execute the requests from the buffer.

There's one built into the JetBrains editors, too. And the upcoming release is going to allow one to wrap very long URLs for better visibility and include fun things like "$random.email" in the request: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2022/10/intellij-idea-2022-3... (EAP releases are always free of charge, if one wanted to play with it right now; just please report bugs if you find them, as that's the reason they're free)
