Experienced cyclists don't use kickstands simply because they are a totally useless bike dress-up accessories, like ribbons on your handlebars. Your bike is more likely to fall or be knocked over from being held up by a kickstand than it is being leaned against anything. Even if there's absolutely nothing you can do to hold your bike up somehow, it's not like it's a motorcycle that can't be laid down on the grass.
