Pretty much. If I want to save a file: wget. If I want to do _anything_ else: curl. Yes you can write files with curl, no I don't use that functionality very often. I don't think of them as "end user" vs "developer" use cases so much as them being two great tools for different tasks. I do wish that -s was the curl default, since that stderr progress output is pretty lame.
