I keep feeling that such term makes the user think of activities involvoing direct moving of vertexes. That to say that is someone shoud ask me "what tools do you expect to find in these two 'bins': 'Editinig' and 'Feature editing'?".. ..well.. ..I would not besure of the answer! So, if changing "feature editing" to "feature processing" (or something else without 'edit' inside) is perceived as too much.. ...I would at least move the Trim Tool to this second "Feature editing" group, since this tool does not involve any direct vertex selection.
