Yeah, sounds weird. They say they are better than Postman but honestly, I don't know what's wrong with Postman? Maybe I don't know because I never used it much and I am thus not the target group but maybe I should be? Why limit yourself to people who use Postman?
I think it's always weird when a product tries to advertise itself by saying they are better than X without explaining what's bad about X or how they are better.
Kind of just assuming that (enough) users don't like X and thus anything that is not X must be better which is a logical fallacy.
This testimonial says Postman is using a proprietary format:
But I also don't like testimonials. They always feel so biased but oh well, what did I expect haha.
Maybe this is just my interpretation, but I don’t read proprietary as not being Git-friendly. This new app also created its own language to store request collections. That’s proprietary in my book. Sure it’s open source, but it isn’t some standard format. I just don’t understand this argument. Unless of course postman’s storage format is binary or XML where git diffs struggle. But I assumed they were JSON. Maybe I’ll verify when I find a moment.
