Okay, no where it's mentioned which IDE is talked about. https://www.trae.ai/ OR https://traeide.com/

Would be sad if wrong one is murdered.

Naming is hard but if there really were 2 different AI IDEs with nearly identically name that's no accident.

But it seems like traeide.com is in the best case someones extremely misleading web design demo, worst case a scam.

One the traeide website:

> Educational demo only. Not affiliated with ByteDance's Trae AI. Is Trae IDE really free? What's the catch? Yes, Trae IDE is completely free with no hidden costs. As a ByteDance product, it is committed to making advanced AI coding tools accessible to all developers.

By the way TRAE isn't free anymore, they now provide a premium subscription.

If the later really is just a web design demo it has a bunch of red flags. Why the officially sounding domain? Download links for executables!!! If it is just a web design demo for portfolio -> why are there no contact information for the author whose work and skills it's supposed to advertise?
