This was recently added to GitHub head and, while overall 2D editing is a bit unstable right now (due to a massive reorganization of the 2D editor), it will be soon be possible to fully make use of this feature. Create a Polygon2D node, then immediately assign an image to it (otherwise UV editing won't open). Using with Polygon2D.

Visual Shader Editor (Edit shaders connecting nodes). 2D Shadows with Polygonal Occluders. New 2D Navigation Polygon support, for efficient 2D pathfinding. Navigation Polygons can be edited visually and combined, disabled, etc. Talk about it, tweet about it, write articles, organize talks, and share this news!!

Edit: Changed post title for clarity (previously Abandoning OpenGL ES 3.0 Edit 2: This article is now outdated. Single codebase for everything is like a dream come true for writing an engine. Still, there seems to be a large chunk of them (36% at the time of this writing) that only support OpenGL ES 2.0. Android, iOS.

Previously, only the root node of a scene was editable. It is now possible to edit any children node of the instanced scene and have the changes persist. Even sub-instances of instances can be edited with persistent modifications. XML is not easy to write manually, and it's easy to make mistakes. Multiple scene editing.

You can move the polygon with the node transform, drag the corners to reshape it, add delete points. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. As always, many improvements and fixes to shader editing have been backported from 4.0 Add an Occluder node to your scene, and choose to create an OccluderShapePolygon.
