I actually like this article, though. Postman is great, and everyone should know how to test APIs. Screw custom front-ends that I relied on until I found Postman. Also, when will "manual testing" die? All testing requires human interaction. You're never not testing manually. Automation doesn't test unless you intervene when certain results are triggered.

Use this one all the time for testing the API of an Angular app I'm building. Really good and doesn't trip any CORS issues.

Probably one of the most used tools I have, so useful for quick checks, especially when you're building an API
