Curious to know what advantages Insomnia has/had over Postman beyond being MIT licensed.

Postman's initial startup time could be a bit faster but other than this I'm not missing much (yet). I used it for years occasionally before finally creating an account not so long to sync my requests across devices.

BTW: Jetbrains IDEs like WebStorm also have an integrated HTTP client.

Absence of all this bullshit about accounts, clouds and telemetry like in postman. It was just a tool to send requests I wanted when I wanted

Ignoring everything else, postman UX is worse than anything I've ever used

Postman and Insomnia have almost identical UIs

Yet I can find anything under a second in Insomnia and keep fumbling around on Postman for minutes.

I see you haven't used Nero Burning ROM.

Skeuomorphism had it time. I actually loved those apps back in those days.
