FWIW, i happily use both (when I want to download recursively a bunch of pages, following links, wget is the one; when I'm debugging some http strangeness, it's curl). Interactively and in scripts. And I *never* would give such an advice as "Don't depend on curl". And as to "curl's default options ..." -- they may be a pain in *your* proverbial; that doesn't make them a pain in everyone's proverbial. I'm perfectly fine with them.
