This is such a weird article. Electron is not for making http requests, it’s for rendering web pages. Nothing within curl can render web pages. I’m not saying you should be using electron necessarily, but this is just so obviously wrong, what is the author thinking?
And (almost) any programming language has a built-in primitive for making http requests (possibly even using libcurl internally), why would I switch to a command line call if I can just do the http call directly with that primitive?
Postman has Collection Runner tho, which is useful for people that like to dick around on a GUI and get their data harvested and used for AI training instead of writing their own script in Python.

I think it’s a jab at Postman, which is essentially curl with a GUI.
