I say Meh ...

Had a look at it , More like CC , even so , I would personally prefer CC ,

But I would strongly advise you to ...

Learn a Programming Language & Join the Dark side !

I have, but for being able to prototype it is nice to use these types of tools.

looks like a step in a hard direction events definitely are messy and will be making it harder to vebug and/or find relevant pieces later in your code,

I agree but I am still impressed with it. I will still use C2 when on my windows machine... it would make no sense to stop using software I paid for.

It's not necessarily that bad, its free for one thing which is always a nice touch. The main issue I see with this software is that it lacks a community, which in my opinion seems really important. Also will the developer update it often? Construct 2 has consistent updates and will probably be the only 2d engine I plan to use for now, until I move onto a 3d engine.

This I agree with.

There are a multitude of tools out there. Some great some not, I think having more tools in the toolbox is more advantageous than limiting myself. On the other hand I am pleased to find tools like Game Develop or even game-editor for that matter that allow for more freedom.

Great points everyone, and there is one thing for certain. This is the best community.

Your original post lists lots of features, and Construct 2 has all of them, as far as I can tell, apart from the fact the editor runs on Mac/Linux (and the fact it's free - although Construct 2 also has a free edition).

Is it just those two things - a Linux editor and the fact it's free? Anyway, I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it.

If you like C# maybe you can see this new C# game framework. Using Net4.0,OpenGL,OpenAL.

I really miss LINQ though...

GameDevelop is very good alternative to Construct 2. I just hate that they split the forum to French and English.

French section got a lot of post.

If you want to try GameDevelop, make sure you download it from the forum instead of Main Page.

If it supports .Net4.0, I would expect it to be based on C# 4.0, and support LINQ.

Yeah, I need LINQ if I'm in C#, I live and breathe Reactive Extensions.

I have to laugh, though. I've used the docking architecture before, and contributed to it somewhat <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> (well, a derivative of it, since WeifenLuo stopped updating it.

Then we moved to WPF and redid the user interface, but hey!

Thanks for the heads up!

*Edit* Something screams out as very wrong when you are better off downloading from the forums than the main page.

I think it's along the same lines as C2's beta/stable releases. It seems to be pretty common practice with a lot of free software, and especially open source.
