How is it better than Bruno, or Postman? Who knows. I've got the feeling that some people fetishize terminal application.

Probably differences on how different people work. One convenient thing you can do with terminal stuff is running it in a disposable Docker container without having to install anything on your PC (assuming you already have docker): docker run --rm -it "${TERMINAL_APPLICATION}" I do this stuff all the time.

  For what is worth, you can also run containerized GUI apps.

  I've built dew for this. It "knows" about many of those apps (and where to get a container from). https://github.com/efrecon/dew https://github.com/efrecon/dew. Adding a term app is usually just a matter of crafting an .env file with the necessary settings.

Yea TUI never sat well with me since the whole point of CLI over GUI applications is that you have control over the interface that doesn't require changing the source/using an extension system. TUI applications is like a step in-between GUI and CLI that I feel isn't necessary.
