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.

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

It's what vi does.
