At first I thought, what is so unfriendly about cURL? Then I saw the screenshot that shows a comparable cURL request behind the HTTPie request and I'm convinced

  That was my first thought, too. Then I saw the colorized output and I'm convinced, too.

    Isn't the HTTpie command simpler because it uses defaults for the content type and charset? If Curl did the same (not sure why it should because not everything is JSON/UTF-8), the command would be about as short as the HTTPie one.

      This is probably different for different people, but I find myself constantly looking up the right flag for controlling a part of a request with curl even though I use it a lot. Having the command line be smarter about interpreting which argument is which seems like a productivity gain to me.
