I find interesting on how on a startup related forum, anything related with not paying is always celebrated.

Just curious, what’s your gripe with Insomnia? I find its UX a little clunky at times but haven’t found anything limiting my use cases.
Personally, it was Insomnia shifting to requiring an account and promoting "enterprise" features that clutter the experience and get in the way of me doing my job. From there, I did research and found `insomnium` and a coworker found `bruno`. Bruno aligned closer to what I value, so now I use that.
Lately Postman suddenly required creating an account to their cloud, to use my five different rest requests from scratchpad. I got annoyed so bad that deleted that piece of cr*p immediately. Never looking back. Then I found Bruno and fell in love. Thanks for the great work!
Insomnia did the same. There was an option to migrate to an offline account but the migration did not work. So I turned to Bruno. I have been happy with it but there are some strange issues. Sometimes it does not save settings when I press Ctrl s. I still don't know when this happens but I lost some work a couple of times because of this.

Doesn't seem to support advanced stuff like GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets...

I wonder what techonolgy you have at home without paying a dime to actually access it.
I paid for a physical copy of an explanation of the method; now I'm free to use the method in my drawings or share it with other people.
Can someone explain what Postman or Bruno is for? I know it's something for interacting with apis but why would i use it. I interact with apis a lot with curl or wrapper in my languages but never really needed something else?
One more thing I don't see mentioned is that you can share requests with your team easily, so if you worked on an API integration, you can document it, share it with your team, and when the next time someone else needs to fix something, they can find something that worked at some point and has all the required fields. Of course you could also just check in to version control these requests as curl commands, so if you…

For me a big usecase is the ability to save specific requests and categorize / name them. It's a good way to document test data. If someone creates a feature which I want to test or debug I'd have to dig into the database to find which parameters I'd need to use, or I just find the right request in the tool.
