I'm too independent to use kits. The most fun for me is picking out my own colors, and most often I design my own or tweak a pattern. Recently someone told me she bought two kits from Keepsake and did not get enough fabric. Also, some quilt shows don't allow you to display kit quilts, such as Billings Farm Museum which I enter most years. I can see the value for some, but have never used one so far. But never say never.
