I'm a great fan of kind, it's made my life so much easier for a couple of use cases.
1) I run a training course on container security. We moved from using straight kubeadm on the student's VMs to using kind clusters. the advantage here being we can customize different clusters for different scenarios by providing a kind config file on start-up. We can also have multiple clusters running on a single VM easily with no interferance between them.
2) when evaluating software or trying out a feature, it's really nice to be able to spin up a test cluster in < 2 minutes and try it out, then it's just "kind delete cluster" to get rid of it again.
when I compare it to other options (e.g. minikube, microk8s etc) it subjectively feels less "magic" to me, in that it's just one or more Docker containers, running kubeadm, so as long as you understand those two things, you can get a picture of what's going on.
