I've never seen them as competitors!
wget is my goto if I need to download a file now, with the minimum of fuss.
curl is used when I need to do something fancy with a url to make it work, or when I'm fiddling with params to make an API work/debug it.
- hunter2_ 3y agoIt's even in the name: wget will do everything reasonable to just get something to you, while curl will do a huge portion of things that use URLs.
