The port of original algorithms to SEXTANTE seems to be nearly
complete and SEXTANTE has superior approach of creating the GUI for
algorithms dynamically (similar to GRASS toolbox) instead of manually
creating GUI for each algorithm. So...what about removing the original
fTools and GdalTools plugins before 2.0 and focusing on improvements
of their counterparts in SEXTANTE?
+1 for removing fTools and GDALTools.
But unfortunately not all fTools and GDAL tools algorithms ported to
SEXTANTE, some of them still present only in original plugins. I
plan to work on this.

Anyway, I think that redundancy in SEXTANTE is not so bad as having
several ways of doing the same thing in the QGIS interface, since
users will understand that algorithms come from differnt providers and
are not completely identical.
Also note that some users have no SAGA installed but when similar
algorithm from GDAL (or other more common source) is available they
still can do their work. So redundancy is not bad.
I'd encourage that those tools still be made available via the Vector
and Raster menus. Also that they should be update-able via the Fetch
python plugins. Preferably independent of Sextante upgrades, but still
be the integrated version.
I also would miss the command line viewer that's in GDAL Tools. That is
extremely useful when prototyping something that I plan to move to a script.
Does sextante allow for batch application the way GDALTools currently does?
So basically, I'm all for streamlining but I don't want to loose
features and flexibility because of that.
Thanks,
Alex
