Yeah, that doesn't work for uninstalling. The helper and engine keeps restarting when you quit them in step 2.

rm -rf /Applications/Kite.app then kill the engine and helper

Jesus, what a nice way to piss people off: 1. upload all code to cloud. 2. be hard to get rid off.




Yeah I immediately tried to uninstall it after seeing it required a login and had no preview functionality, and then immediately ran into the persistent process problem. Any application that puts a service like that on my system without my consent is blacklisted for life to be honest, there's no excuse for something like that.

Later finding out it .. uploads your code to them.. it's really an insane thing, I think it's such a huge invasion of your machine and your privacy it should have been removed from the HN front page unless those facts were put immediate front and center.
