Am I the only one who use CURL over such tools? I don't want a 300MB electron client doing GET/POST work, especially those with hidden telemetry on.

You may like Hurl [1]: it's an Open source cli based on curl (libcurl to be exact), to run and test HTTP requests with plain text (I'm one of the maintainers). We recently add --curl option to come back to curl. Give it a shout! [1]: https://hurl.dev

If you're just _hacking_ a few simple calls, curl is the way to go.
But if you're working in a team, with multiple environments, with complex payloads, authentication, doing dozens of API calls everyday... Having a software able to manage libraries of endpoints, parameters, simple environment switching, included auth, sharing between team members... is a big time saver.
I personally prefer IntelliJ's HTTP Client[0] since I always have my IDE open, the files are not obfuscated in a gibberish format and can be versioned/shared through Git. But when I start working on an existing project, having a Postman collection to rely on is a huge time-saver, instead of having to go down in-existent API docs or trying to infer from the code itself.

The industry has largely moved to [Bruno]( https://github.com/usebruno/bruno )
Yes, But. It doesn't seem like the worst - yet - but Bruno also ramped up their monetization. So far it seems survivable. But given how things have gone before, it's unclear how viable Bruno will really remain. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42170934

Hmm, I didn’t hear about this! What about that lifetime Bruno thing that was $9? I’m pretty sure I bought that. Is that just nothing now or what does that get me?
I just wrote my own [1] and I will be Sure that this one will never be monetised [1] https://github.com/warmuuh/milkman
