I'm not sure what the deal is with Postman but it's something with their UI that makes me crazy. You can't copy paste stuff without the cursor leaving the fields and so on. Their environment system...

See why people like Insomnia REST Client 😍

Insomnia is nice but it doesn't have API tests and it is incredibly slow. I don't have the best computer, but why does an app that sends HTTP requests use up almost 500 MB of memory at first launch?...
