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.

Terminal-based text editors (vim, emacs, nano) are also helpful for making quick changes from right inside your console. The article, [Emacs, Nano, or Vim: Choose your Terminal-Based Text Editor Wisely](https://medium.com/linode-cube/emacs-nano-or-vim-choose-your-terminal-based-text-editor-wisely-8f3826c92a68) does a nice job explaining some differences and a bit about how to use each.
