Agreed. Postman is a classic victim of "Enshittification" to try to recoup the VC money.

However IMHO, the more complex scripted testing is better done in your main dev language

I'm now looking at this one: https://www.usebruno.com/

The advantage of Bruno (and the VS code plugin) that storing data in "just a file" is friendly to keeping a local copy, and also to sharing, reviewing and versioning with existing tools (git).

How does insomnia handle that?
