I looked through some posts and didn't see this so excuse me if it's already been noted. I miss having a progress bar or something that lets me know the compile/upload has started. This was in the older IDE and a previous RC(2?) had a spinner in the bottom left
I see someone else had noted the missing print function. Again, the older IDE had this. Why not 2.0?
Hi @cgriswold52. Thanks for your feedback about the Arduino IDE 2.0.0 release candidate!
This request is tracked by the Arduino IDE developers here:

It is still there, but it is indicating something different. This is the indicator that the language server (which provides the "code aware" features like auto completion and "Go to definition") is processing your sketch. It doesn't have any correlation to the compilation progress.
Is it a feature you used? I never did once in my decade of using Arduino IDE 1.x.
For reference, there is a formal request for it here:
