As long as they don't punch through the material, I've used drywall screws with little problem
That being said, the pocket screws make a much nicer finished product.. Sometimes that bugle head will split the material or not sit deep enough..
If I'm dumping a lot of money into lumber for something nice I'll use the recommended screws. If I'm just piecing something together I'll use whatever I have available

I don't see why that wouldn't work .

I have only used it for one project . What I did was set the chuck on my drill to like #4 . When I set a joint I watched it till the joint was tight . I think I ended up setting my chuck on #6 . I tried on a few scrap pieces of wood to make sure it I had it set light enough that I didn't drive the screw through the off side of the joint . But set heavy enough to tighten the joint .
