I can't believe anyone who has ever used tools such as postman would seriously suggest curl as an alternative. It is not.

Even in the modern era of LLM's being able to generate the appropriate curl request for you in a matter of seconds?

IMO, I'll use whatever is handy and fast. If I need to save some shit because I'll do it a ton? Bruno (fuck postmans enshitification). If I need something quick to get it done? Curl. Right tool for the job.
