Built-in test scripting and CI integration cover a lot of QA needs
Mock servers let frontend and backend teams work in parallel

Trade-offs

Desktop app has grown heavier and slower over recent versions
Team collaboration features are gated behind paid plans
Some developers prefer lighter, code-based alternatives (like Insomnia or HTTPie)
