I remember when one of the "Core Goals" of Postman was "Complete control over your data - Keep simple JSON based data formats which can be exported and shared as per user needs".

When Postman started becoming shit, I started using Insomnia, which is also turning into shit now.

Good thing is that we can start using Insomnium now.

It is unmaintained.

This is the cost of devs focusing on corporate gains and not their craft.

Devs have to eat and if someone offers you a life altering amount of money to work on their hobby project, a lot of them would probably take it. It's hard to turn down something that might assure your family a comfortable life.

This is not what I said. I meant that users should contribute and not expect FOSS projects as a separate channel of getting material for their corporate work.
