Either tool can provide the functionality of the other with a little work, is what I meant to imply...

It's what vi does.

In that case I'd love for it to include resuming downloads though, but given the differences I don't think merging is going to be more useful than just adding the feature in curl.

Edit: nevermind, I just learned that wget can download a page's resources or even inline them (-k apparently), that's a bit of a way off from curl's purpose. Better keep them separate tools, although wget might benefit from using libcurl so they don't have to implement lots of stuff like https or http2.
