Just a little tip, as the syntax of less (less css) is so similar to css, just add a new file type in Netbeans > Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Files like so:
Btw, setting an image size in Bilbo after adding the image crashes Bilbo, but only after the post was saved locally. So add your images first, then “Save Locally” before this bug is fixed.
Update: I found less editing works a lot better with Netbeans 6.5.1 than with 6.8. The code formatting of 6.8 is too picky and will essentially not format less as it’s not proper css. No such problems with Netbeans 6.5.1 which I also use on Windows as a vastly superior less and css editor compared with Visual Studio.
You can always get Netbeans 6.5.1 and other versions through this page:

Nice but the CSS colorator fail on some LESS syntax (display errors and dont understand variables, nested rules…)

@Damien: Thanks for your comment! You’re right, it’s definitely not perfect and will display plenty of errors on the side bar. But better than nothing I guess. It shouldn’t be too hard to make it right but I have zero experience hacking NB.
