-Other code editors, like IntelliJ, Sublime Text, Brackets, etc. will also work with a WSL 2 Node.js development environment, but may not have the same sort of remote features that VS Code offers. These code editors may run into trouble accessing the WSL shared network location (\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\) and will try to build your Linux files using Windows tools, which likely not what you want. The Remote-WSL Extension in VS Code handles this compatibility for you, with other IDEs you may need to set up an X server. [Support for running GUI apps in WSL](https://twitter.com/craigaloewen/status/1308452901266751488?lang=en) (like a code editor IDE) is coming soon.
