curl is the one where I have to remember whether to use -o or -O when trying to download a file with the original filename and just use wget instead because it's faster than reading the curl man page.
I have the same problem. Curl is "unix-y" in the sense that the default options are optimized for a shell script and make no sense for interactive usage.
bropages is where it's at for that kind of stuff. curl is actually their usage example :)
Their example will just dump the webpage to stdout! Almost certainly not the desired behavior given the comment. Then they include second example of a use case that almost nobody has, instead of giving the option that everyone is actually looking for.
