Postman was great when it made APIs simple, but over time all the accounts, cloud sync, and extra features kind of slowed down the core workflow. And then a lot of clients just ended up copying that model instead of rethinking it.

On the optimistic side we are seeing some stuff that want to rethink this: tools like Voiden and Yaak with a few new approaches like  Git-native workflows, reusable request pieces, more composable setups basically making API work feel more like actual dev work again.
