I have never had a problem with gate scanning - it is such a minor benefit for the IT. Moving minerals and colonists through gates is the ultimate strength for an IT.

Yup - I build gates for moving stuff through them, but I find the scanning a useful extra feature. It certainly is a fringe benefit, but it does help when planning an attack that you can see where the enemy has gates (and thus where stuff might turn up at short notice), and also when hopping through friendly foreign space to get somewhere, you can tell where you are likely to be able to jump - all in that last 10 minutes before AH gens the next turn, and without needing a potentially lengthy request to someone to ask where their gates are, which they will inevitably answer wrongly in some critical aspect (like it's going to be finished next turn, so it'll not work this year...)
