PERFORMANCE AND TELEMETRY ANALYSIS OF TRAE IDE: A DEEP DIVE INTO BYTEDANCE'S VSCODE FORK

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Trae IDE, a ByteDance fork of VSCode, has some issues. It consumes more resources than VSCode, with up to 6 times the memory usage and a much higher process count. Telemetry data is persistently transmitted to ByteDance servers, even when telemetry settings are disabled by the user, collecting granular system and usage information.
