I use VS Code's native integration with WSL. So VS Code runs as a native Windows app with nearly everything you'd expect, but the actual files being read/saved are inside WSL. Works great with Vagrant, Docker for Desktop, Git etc.

Yep, this works really well and for directly accessing files in WSL 2's file system from Windows, @lenova's sibling comment goes over that process.

To expand on that, I also have this path in my Windows explorer "Quick access" list: \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\nick

It's a shortcut to my home directory inside of WSL 2 for quick access. It's useful in the cases where I want to drag / drop a photo or something from Windows into WSL 2's world.
