I like Postman when it’s just me and my personal collection of endpoints and I can make a big mess in a lot of tabs. Postman gets a little fragile when I have to share collections with my teammates. The version control story is not great. If someone across the office makes a change in a shared collection and saves it, it could easily overwrite work, with no chance for review. So I avoid it in team settings. For those cases, I tend to encode my API tests in JS, using axios for the actual API calls and Jest for assertions. Jest snapshots make validating API responses a breeze.
