Yes it is worth it, because it is available everywhere, and will still be around in 15 years. Learn it once, use it "forever", everywhere. It's the same with learning to use sed, awk, etc. They've been around for 50 years and will most likely be for another 50.

It's just a http client CLI not a programming language. It's not that difficult to switch. In fact I use at least 5 different ones myself.

All the more reason to learn and use curl

Yes after you learn all better clients first, sure.
