I know that Python setups are notoriously difficult, but Kite put that to the next level. I have never seen a utility that was so annoyingly breaking every one of my development tools. PyCharm couldn’t open, Atom was unusable, Sublime was mainly untouched because I found a way to deactivate it, but I had to confirm it every time I opened it.

The uninstaller was barely trying to help, I had to search my disk for any file containing the string “kite” to remove it effectively. I suspect I deleted a ton of unrelated content as I was going.
