Powerful API Testing - Even Stateful APIs

What do you like best? The GUI is excellent and the fact its supporting the Open-API standards makes me confident we can build our tools around it. What do you dislike? The stoplight team has assured me this will be fixed in the next release -- The tool has an online hosted centric approach, its made it a challenge to integrate into our multi-branch codebase were new features are developed on different branches.
