I have used it for years, but they recently crippled it. it is unusable now.

SoapUI seem like it is too tied down to xml.

does anyone have suggestions?

https://github.com/docsion/rfsh if you are familiar with bash script , feel free to add feature request via PR (e.g run test for postman collection)

I switched to Insomnia a while ago because it's less bloated.

curl

me too! or, you can give httpie [1] a try

How do you deal with oauth2 with curl?

Google for “curl oauth2” for lots of helpful explanations and examples.
