I think for the most part everyone has accepted that Postman grew into a monster that bloated with features and presumably that comes with online dependence.

Everyone accepted because it slowly became standard tool. I have business guys using postman and sharing collections is kind of must. I hate it, for myself I don’t use it but when having to share API stuff I have to use it because that’s what other people understand. Good for postman business, bad for everyone.

I'm at a smaller organization now, it was so nice when we all decided "no way" on Postman.

We moved to bruno, we're quite happy with it.

It connects to their servers when it starts up; have to assume their server is down. It used to be so much nicer before they added this "feature".

Don't you love how slimeballs cant help themselves though? Instead of just letting free and easy happen the one time a year they go down... they just spit in everyones face to remind them now they have time to go find an alternative
