Last year (2021) in spring, Arduino’s official website launched Arduino IDE 2.0.0 Beta version.
After more than a year of continuous improvement and upgrades, the official officially launched the Arduino IDE 2.0.0 stable version. It brings a modernized editor, providing a better user experience through a responsive interface and faster compilation times.

https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
In addition to the basic core functions, Arduino IDE 2.0 also makes some improvements and additional support, such as: the serial monitor and plotter can be used together, allowing users to have two windows on their data output.
The new user interface not only provides a more intuitive experience when using Arduino IDE 2.0 but also enhances the speed of writing code, while offering code suggestions and error corrections, serial output, and faster loading and compilation times.
Let’s describe these highlight features.
Code Editing Autocomplete Feature
When editing code, the editor can autocomplete the code (variables and functions) based on your input.
When right-clicking on a variable or a function, navigation shortcuts will be provided to jump to the line (and file) where they are declared.
Theme: Dark Mode
If your eyes feel tired, you can try switching to dark mode.Some friends may have used this feature during the Beta version, but this time, their design team has redesigned the entire dark theme to make it more consistent, beautiful, and easy to view.
Code Can Be Synchronized to the Cloud
For those who work on multiple computers or want to securely store their code in the cloud, the integration of Remote Sketchbook is a very useful feature.Now, all your code in Arduino Cloud and Arduino Web Editor can be edited in IDE 2.0.You can easily switch from one computer to another and continue working. If you don’t have Arduino IDE 2.0 installed on all your machines, that’s fine; as long as you open the Arduino Web Editor, you can write code in the online IDE through your browser and access all your code and libraries. No more worries about losing your written code; with Remote Sketchbook, you just need to click, and they will be securely pushed to the Arduino cloud.Work offline and sync later; just download your code from the cloud for offline editing. When you have a network, click ‘Push’, and the modified parts of the code will be uploaded, ensuring that all your code is always up to date and available for use.
Serial Plotter
Arduino IDE 2.0 has a richer serial plotter, a multifunctional tool for tracking different data and variables received from your Arduino board. The serial plotter is a very useful view tool that can help you better understand and compare your data. It can be used for testing and calibrating sensors, comparing values, etc.
Supports IAP
Friends are always accustomed to receiving notifications when new board support or library updates are available, and IDE 2.0 is no exception.
Now when a new version is released, the IDE itself can also be updated, no longer requiring a jump to the download page to get the latest version.
The new IDE is based on the Eclipse Theia framework, which is an open-source project based on the same architecture as VS Code (language service protocol, extensions, debugger). The frontend is written in TypeScript, while most of the backend is written in Golang.Having seen this, will you stick with Arduino IDE 1.8.19 or choose 2.0.0?
