I've given a look to the list of Processing QGIS geoalgorithms and I've seen that all the tools from fTools seem to be there. I remembered that someone was missing, but it seems not to be true anymore. I wonder if it wouldn't be the case to drop fTools algorithms from Vector menu. It would help in avoiding confusion, imho.
