microk8s is really cool! We wanted kind for development of kubernetes itself and I don't think microk8s was around at the time.
One difference besides being able to build & run arbitrary Kubernetes versions is being able to run on mac, windows, and Linux instead of only where snap is supported.
We're paying more attention to local development of applications now, expect some major improvements soon :-)
That's great news. In my experience kind was a bit resource heavy - but more importantly didn't seem to have clear documentation that was geared towards local testing (for users/consumers of k8s).
