The parent company of TikTok, ByteDance, has just released TraeAI, the newest entrant to the AI-enhanced IDE wars. Trae is also a fork of the VS Code IDE and offers many of the same AI features of competitors Windsurf and Cursor: chats, autocomplete, etc.
Recently we reported the React team agreed to deprecate starter React repo Create React App due to changes in React 19 breaking the project.
