What friction does curl impose? I get that a CLI command isn't suitable for everyone, but (1) we are talking about a developer audience and (2) there should NOT be a $5.6 billion valuation gap between the two tools.

All seriousness. Curl should be a billion dollar piece of software. It's so widely used, I suspect half of the apps I use on a daily basis would probably stop working if Curl was removed.

Compensation for FOSS engineers is so broken. So much economic value gets created and rarely any of it is captured by the creators. It’s infuriating.

The way Postman is moving hasn't struck me as a developer audience anymore. At my last job we heavily used it for the QA and support teams. Most devs used the vscode extension that does mostly the same things without all the cloud-sharing junk.
