Not that I'm interested in FT2 at all. I think it is way to broadbanded and way too insensitive. It could be used for contesting, if you like such a thing.
I really didn't know but there seems be be kind of a battle going on between two FT2 developers. Read the article on the blog from VU3DXR:

Really, this reminds me of something that happened years ago when Julian G4ILO (SK) had some issues with the ROS/VARA developer. He was forbidden to use the software anymore. For a while I was even "persona non grata" because I agreed with Julian his statement which was about the bandwidth of the ROS mode. Luckily things settled down and I believe the ROS mode still exists, although not sure if it still is in use by anyone.
Funny that these days you don't need programming skills really. If you know the right AI model and tell it what you wish for it will write your program or website for you. If I open my social media I see a lot of posts about FT2 all made with AI. It tells you how great and fast this mode is and that you need to try it.
Well, my dear blogreaders. Everyone makes their own decisions. My decision is not to use it and keep it as much as possible at CW and SSB. I want to have fun, I don't need 240 QSOs in an hour...
