Why file? Why don't use already existing standards ? For example: swagger.io/docs/specification/about/

I fully understand your points, but REST Client have some interesting features like requests sequences, variables handling and it's easier to edit and click to play request on the same file that update your yaml and then execute the swagger.

REST Client, in my point of view, is NOT an OTHER NEW standard, just a cool tool to ease team work.
It's not a way to replace a swagger, and it wasn't my point :)

Are you planning to have functionality to have collections? Basically saying, saved request interfaces and ability to import from swagger/openapi/soap/etc ?
