Yes, there are.  commercially, Ami-Back is a backup program that is 2.0 only,
there is a PD term program written by Olaf Barthel that really is not bad,
that's 2.0 only.  I know of a few more that i can't think of (other than my
BBS, which when finished will be 2.0 only), Plus programs like TurboText from
oxxi take advantage of 2.0 features, and disable them under 1.3
