There's nothing to say pixel shaders are exclusively for 3D works.
They make for some nice effects that run well, and if I want to have a nice effect that runs well then I should be able to. So there.

Pixel shaders are fine for 2D. Think of the hardware accelerated dynamic lighting effects, etc.
Even though Construct is quite unstable sometimes, you gotta love the 'problem found, problem fixed' attitude of Scirra. You mention something and if they reproduce it then they fix it in the next build.
I tried it, it was hard to get used to. But it can scroll and do effects so smooth. I made it crash a couple times, but that will be fixed before the release.
