We're still working on Construct 2. That's why we've marked down the licenses by 50% for our early adopter's deal. We hope to have all this remedied soon! Then, once it's all done, you can use it all with your cheaper license too. So as long as you're a little forwards-thinking, we hope it still works out as a good deal for you.
FWIW, proportional resize via Shift is added in the next build, and we're hoping to get picture editor tools done soon as well.
