When I tried kite over a year ago I was relatively unimpressed with it. Even though it ran as a plug-in to jet brains IDE it required a windows installed service and two separate executables running in the background (kite.exe, kited.exe), and that stuff continue to run after exiting my IDE which was unacceptable for me.

Kite may have been the first to market but copilot blew them out of the water in terms of overall functionality.

So they wanted to run forever in the background and they'd already gotten in trouble for silently collecting telemetry?

Sounds like everyone has dodged a bullet!
