Another day, another HTTP client. Why do we need so many of them? I and my team are thinking about just ditch all of these, and use python + requests/httpx as the client. If need a quick call, just curl/wget.
You probably don't need all of them. But we've created HTTPie Desktop based on the feedback of HTTPie CLI users over the past decade who wanted to have the same comfort on the desktop as they do in the terminal. The feedback we've been receiving from devs actually using has been incredible.
I think OpenAPI is a better choice for this kinda stuff. The API docs are the source code and less lock-in that way. Devs can still use the tools they want.
OpenAPI only describes the endpoints. Ultimately people want examples and to test their endpoints collaboratively rather than just see a description of it with the fields it accepts. Actual use cases and a proper flow of being able to authenticate and use that token to call the other APIs and check the responses is what people seem to want more than a "dumb" curl GUI
