I am experimenting with Less Css, and I am using Visual Studio 2010.
It would be nice if the editor provided support for syntax highlighting and Intellisense for Less, for instance coloring and suggesting variables. What are my options to get that to work ? Do I need to write a plugin for it, or how would one go about adding this to VS ? Does anything exist for this already ?

You can trigger IntelliSense in any editor window by typing Ctrl+Space or by typing a trigger character (such as the dot character (.) in JavaScript).
Go to Tools | Options | Text Editor | C/C++. This dialog displays a window that allows you to toggle Automatic brace completion. Automatic brace completion is the feature where, when you type { , a corresponding } is automatically typed for you.
IntelliSense is a code-completion aid that includes a number of features: List Members, Parameter Info, Quick Info, and Complete Word. These features help you to learn more about the code you're using, keep track of the parameters you're typing, and add calls to properties and methods with only a few keystrokes.
If you are using Visual Studio 2012 you can use Web Essentials 2012. It uses syntax highlighting similar to Visual Studio's CSS syntax highlighter. It compiles to CSS on save.
