Mentioning wget makes me embarrassed for the days (probably 20 years ago) where I used to prefer wget. Curl annoyed me because I couldn’t “simply download a file”. Needed to provide an option just to write the file to disk.
Of course now I feel really icky if im ever forced to use wget. And curl’s feature of defaulting to stdout is of course a perfect thing and makes way more sense than the alternative (for many reasons).
