Funnily enough, I've never used auto-completion. I've even gone through the trouble of deactivating it in Atom, but disdain is a strong word.

Also, it just occurred to me that Kite is basically a keylogger. Every keystroke is sent to their servers. That requires a lot of trust.

Fair enough.

And certainly Kite could be a keylogger. So you're right that using it requires a lot of trust.
