When I see API tools, I am bummed to see the diminished focused on API clients. Particularly client experience (not the libs).
Its all about REST vs GraphQL vs gRPC vs Async API vs native SDKs. It's all about how to make it easier or faster for developers to build these APIs.
Never about, how to make this API best for the API client. That is what matters the most. Focus on clients and can they get the job done. If it does, no need to over engineer!
