looks like I need to update the definitions for all boards, because they will not flash without upload.tool.serial=esptool_py. Have not tried OTA on the new IDE yet

might be time to finally convert the boards.txt to a template generated file.

it's on the list with gazillion tasks to do :D the new IDE is weird (or maybe it's the cli that is weird)

Yeah, it's a complete rework and I think it is based on Eclipse now? Sadly they didn't migrate away from the rather fragile text file based configuration to something a bit more robust. But that migration would have broken all existing boards/platforms/etc.

it's based on Theia/Electron and written in PostScript. I dug a bit deeper into it, there are things broken and undocumented. They could have used the same text based system, but turn it into something like Make or CMake. Their build system is the same and is still slow.
