$dayjob sent an email to everyone with postman installed and asked us to uninstall when postman switched to online. $dayjob IT still maintains a wiki page and includes it on the banned software list. Used to be ubiquitous over there.

Same at Apple; cannot use Postman.

It used to considered vile that drug dealers tried to hook their users and force dependence... turns out that they were just ahead of the curve.

Postman is little potatoes - take a look what was done with free YouTube. Bait and switch all the same only stretched in time.

Everyone accepted because it slowly became standard tool. I have business guys using postman and sharing collections is kind of must.

I hate it, for myself I don’t use it but when having to share API stuff I have to use it because that’s what other people understand.

Good for postman business, bad for everyone.

We moved to bruno, we're quite happy with it.

To second this, I moved to Bruno after Postman became an 'online' tool awhile back and it's done exactly what I've needed since.

I'm at a smaller organization now, it was so nice when we all decided "no way" on Postman.

I switched all my stuff over to bruno. what are you using?

Same.
