    Postman: when it makes sense.

    Postman is indispensable for API development teams; free tier is usable for solo use.

    Keep if

    You regularly test and document APIs.. Your team collaborates on API specifications.

    Challenge if

    You don't need team collaboration (just use curl/httpie).. You're looking for a fully free tool for a team.
