A year ago I had a coworker build a CRUD app with an API that required GET with a body. Something simple like:

    GET /api/query
    Host: example.org
    Content-Type: application/json
    
    {
      "a": "valueWith$pecialChars",
      "b": "valueWith$pecialChars",
      "limit": 100
    }

It worked fine for him because he used curl, which allows GET with a body. But I was using Paw (similar to Postman) which refused to send it. I mentioned the issue to him to which the reply was along the lines of "its a non issue, just use curl". I kid you not, 1 week after this coworker left for another job I fixed the service to accept POST requests.

If QUERY was around I'm sure I could've made a stronger case to fix it sooner.
