Follow-up of #1581. Show progress of new remote sketch creation.
Originally from #1581 (comment).
Testing it in production, the only issue I see is the missing user feedback after inserting the cloud sketch name and before the sketch is open. After naming, takes around 14 secs for the sketch to get pulled, and ~20s to open the workspace (video); a solution could be an extra step in the dialog after inserting the name, showing a spinner while the sketch get created and pulled, similarly to what we do in the firmware updater (screenshot)

see is the missing user feedback
It exists. The UX is precisely the same as when users manually sync the sketch. It's in the Remote Sketchbook, showing as
Pulling.... But I agree it's not always clear when the tree node of the new sketch is not visible. Your screencast reveals the problem. Let's improve this.

Do you agree on that?
showing a spinner while the sketch get created and pulled, similarly to what we do in the firmware updater (screenshot)Why block the UI? Why does IDE2 not show a progress notification in the right corner? Showing definite or indefinite progress this way is known by the users: it works for lib and platform installation/uninstallation and verify/upload. Can we stick to that?

Because the user is going to be dragged out of focus as soon as the new workspace appears, and it takes about 20s: is a bit annoying if we consider that, the user start writing a line of code, and as soon the sketch get pulled is dragged out of focus. In any case your proposal is a viable solution and we can discuss it with @ubidefeo, but as I said before:
could we address this with another issue and consider this PR approved for its fundamental scope?
