/sarcasm Really looking forward to reading the Kite blog post this time around: "Staying Open (Still): Kite Responds To the SideBarEnhancements Issue." /sarcasm

Sorry Kite - fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us. There's now a 0% chance of my ever using your products or services.

Kite is plainly a bad actor. Sublime and GitHub/Atom should be taking steps to permanently remove them and the things they're infecting from their respective ecosystems

We now know of 3 different popular addons they've hijacked in various ways to snoop on code and to build up their business.

If one company is doing this, it makes me very concerned what else is going on, and what else is coming.

the sad thing is that this has been out for 9 months. If Kite was looking for stats to help inform their product development they already got all the data they need.
