By jwill:

Although I like 3.js, I'm not really that much in favor of adding another library that only adds the benefit of 3D text which peeps probably won't use that much anyways.

Also the way that glfx.js works makes it so that the steps are applied independently, I would like to preserve that especially when we are moving to adding multiple effects at the same time.

I think we should leave it as is and only reconsider if there is hue and cry for 3D text. The 2D Canvas can already do some really advanced text effects without having to resort to shaders as we would with a 3D object. (http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/canvas/texteffects/)
