Time estimation to complete baking, render, etc.
If Blender could make its best guess at how much time is left for baking, rendering, etc, it would make for improved user experience, especially on heavier tasks, such as simulations. What other time-intensive tasks is there for Blender that you'd prefer Blender to take a stab at how much time is left?
Edit to note: Blender already makes time estimates for rendering images, but simulation is one of those other things that could benefit.

Agreed. Anything that can be estimated, needs a progress status. Just another essential usability thing.
Sometimes I think the baking got stuck cause there isn't an estimate next to it... Would be very useful!
I have an [admittedly somewhat old at this point] add-on that does basically what you're asking for... well, for rendering animations at least. Cycles is already pretty good at estimating time on an individual frame.
