+Visual Studio Code, commonly called VS Code, is a source code editor developed by Microsoft. Similar to how IntelliJ IDEA requires IntelliJ Scala Plugin to support Scala, you can get support for Scala in VS Code by installing an extension: Metals by Scalameta. In contrast to IntelliJ IDEA + Scala Plugin, VS Code + Metals is is aimed at people who like to get feedback and code intelligence straight from the compiler, which enables them to also try out experimental Scala features. Besides, Metals - as an [language server](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) - is also available to use with a variety of other source-code editors, such as Vim, Sublime Text, Zed, Helix and Emacs, which means that you will get a similar experience in any of them.
