marquee zoom
Is marque zoom gone from Illustrator?
Why on earth each update increasingly becomes pain as they keep removing good features.
I bet they've never tried to work with pen tablet. Zoom out with CMD+1 then quickly zoom-in to an tiny icon with Z+select the bit to zoom to.
With marquee tool it used to be dead simple and lighting fast, with the 'new', ****** scrubbing tool we have to wear down the tablet surface in order to zoom to a desired element. Well done Adobe.

Yep, bad naming. This option should have been made into a toggle, rather than a checkbox. Still it lacks votes to have any attention from the dev team.

It is confounding that someone would prefer any behaviour other than marquee zoom when clicking and dragging with a mouse. Mirroring the zoom behavior of the track pad/mouse scroll wheel for a click and drag action is illogical. (If you want a scroll zoom or “scrubby” zoom, you’d use the hardware best designed for that feature.)
That said, I will concede that individuals have their peculiarities. I am dubious that a majority of users would not ever want marquee zoom. I am incredulous that so few want the feature that it must be disabled by default and hidden away behind a GPU Performance preference. Whatever disdan Adobe’s current developers might have for marquee zoom, one might hope that someone might have reconsidered such an ugly assault on good interface design. I cannot think of a more unintuitive placement for a marquee zoom preference.
This is my second time, in some years, searching for a way to return marquee zoom after my preferences were corrupted. Perhaps by posting a complaint, I’ll commit this fix to memory. (It is probably unlikely it will effect change.)
(And yes, I realize the real issue is that marquee zoom is not even considered a preference. The preference option is a performance fix and marquee zoom merely a concession made to indulge users with doddering GPU’s. That’s how little Adobe thinks of it’s marquee zoomers.)

Go to Preferences > Performance > GPU Performance and uncheck "Animated Zoom." This returns the marquee zoom function.
