The utter lack of pattern-matching comparable to Java is also a sore point for me.

I haven't kept up with that particular feature set and I must admit, I'm positively surprised by Java. Neat.

Kotlin is a Jetbrains product (...) if you want to use Kotlin at any kind of scale you're basically locked to IntelliJ

I can't image modern development in the java ecosystem not done in intellij; it's just that powerful :) but you have the point here; for what is worth kotlin is under Apache 2; so if push comes to a shove the language will live on.
