Default baudrate for serial terminal should be higher

[Avamander]

Describe the request

The default and recommended baudrate in Arduino IDE should be higher. The current 9600 baud is not only visibly sluggish, it's slow enough to hinder debugging (due to the rather significant amount of time it takes to write data). There's no good reason why the default in Arduino IDE shouldn't be a more reasonable value, like 115200 baud. 115200 is also being used by a lot of libraries by-default, for years now, if not a decade.

Describe the current behavior

The default serial console baudrate seems to be 9600 and when a new board is selected, it's being constantly reset to this laggy awful baudrate.

Thanks for your suggestion @Avamander. The decision was previously made to continue to use 9600 as the default:

arduino/Arduino#5893

@per1234 that was already 7 years ago...

The very least an IDE-wide configuration option to override the default should be considered. 9600 is just really tedious as a default.
