I really like IDEA's .http files [1]

Very similar idea as Bruno: everything is configured in text, which I always find myself more productive in that full blown GUI where I need to tab from edit text to edit text to get anything don.

Ah, I didn't know that Jetbrains also supports them, as I've been using them with vscode with the extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re... and I am happy so far.

They are plaintext and can be easily diffed and they don't invent a totally new language.

The extension also supports somewhat esoteric features like client certificates, which I already needed.

So I'd be more interested in a comparison between bruno and .http than insomnia.

[edit: grammar & typo]


Several ides support .http files
