Been using Insomnia for a few months now, some things I really like:
1. Env switching. I believe this is available on other clients, but it feels very intuitive in insomnia.
2. The ease of using results from other calls and making method chains. When testing something locally, I can make a POST call and then click on my GET call and have it implicitly GET the id that was just created.
3. Computed values -- putting in uuids or timestamps for each new call without having to change them. I looked at the api and the code to add your own seems pretty straightforward.
4. Input data types are toggleable, but the form stays the same. This bugged the shit out of me with Postman: I'd fill out a form with my content body only to find I had marked the wrong content type, switched it, and saw Postman present me with a blank form.
