Still use Force IDE for Metadata API?

The current (Spring 19) Metadata API documentation still says use the Force IDE. But the Force IDE documentation says it's deprecated now (no support) and going away completely in October (download links removed, etc.).

Nothing I can find in the VC Salesforce Extensions talks about the Metadata API.

So, in March 2019, is Force IDE still the best way to access the Metadata API? Or should we be doing something else?

Thanks!

VC Salesforce Extensions is best alternative option like other ides like walkinsSute
