They've even put Jetbrains' IDE at the bottom of the "Staircase of intelligence" in their little infographic... I'm not sure if developers familiar with those tools can take this company seriously (especially given what they've done previously.)

I wonder what their look on say, IntelliJ, is.

My primary experience is with Intellij, though most of their IDE's behave similarly.

Im not sure what advantage I'd get with kite.

Often I'd start using a class in the code, and then ask intelliJ to import it, rather than going to the top, and use the autocomplete tool. It can do patterns as well, even custom defined ones, with default values (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/using-live-templates.htm...)
