Hi Rick,
let me reply to two of your questions:
1. The fact that you only see 2 available plugins is as designed,
because we currently have two plugins published in the NetBeans Plugin
Portal [1] which are compatible with 9.0 version. If you switch to
Installed tab, uninstall some plugin you will notice Available Plugins
(3) suddenly. In other words, your IDE reports it is up-to-date except
the two plugins on Plugin Portal.
2. Help in 9.0 was not functioning correctly #NETBEANS-492 [2] and so
the decision was made to disable it centrally as there was no volunteer
to fix it. It would be great if you can take a look at it and fix
#NETBEANS-656.

[2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-492
[3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-656
Thanks for your feedback and contribution!
Best regards,
-Jirka

I spent about 90 minutes testing VC2:
- I chose not to import 8.2 settings (since Glenn did), and installed
nb-javac.
- No plugins were available, but 44 plugins were already installedI
created, debugged and tested Java 9 and Java 10 applications with no
issues.
- I created, debugged and tested Java 9 and Java 10 applications with no
issues.
- JDK Javadoc help worked fine, but clicking the Help button on any
NetBeans window (e.g. Tools > Options) does nothing.
- Moving and docking windows, and changing fonts and colors all worked
fine.
- All my usual keyboard shortcuts worked fine.
- Like Glenn, I noticed some unnecessarily small fonts in various
places. For example: Tools > Options > Fonts & Colors > Versioning: "*Some
colors may not be....*"
- Using Maven worked fine.
- One strange minor issue: after creating a couple of Java applications
and then restarting NetBeans the *Start Page > My NetBeans* incorrectly
reported *<no recent project>*
- *Start Page > Take A Tour *and *Start Page > What's New *send me to
NetBeans 8.x pages in the browser.
- *Start Page > Featured Demo* sends me to a dead YouTube link.
- A very minor point, but some of the links on *Start Page > What's New
> News & Tutorials *are over 4 years old!
- There was just one exception in the IDE Log. It occurred when I tried
to check for plugins:
usage: InstallPlugins

- I realize that most of the issues I am detailing are fairly minor, and
may not be specific to VC2.
- No plugins and no NetBeans Help are the only two significant issues
that I found with VC2.

Build artefacts for NetCAT are available here:
Imported 8.2 settings, installed nb-javac, everything seems very smooth.
Worked on a Swing program under JDK10 for about an hour, debugged,
profiled, gitted, &c., no problems.
The only thing that really stuck out is the splash during updates
("updating... turning on modules..."); the font that shows those
messages is infinitesimally small.
