Description
The GDAL tools (Advanced interface) mostly don't have descriptive names. Almost every other tool from other sources do - the GRASS ones in particular.
But the GDAL ones have "fillnodata" "proximity" "sieve" "pct2rgb", etc...
These will no doubt mean something to someone who knows GDAL, but to a non-user (i.e. me), they don't.

I'm disagree (or partly agree). Most tools use same names as tools from "Raster" menu.

Of the wrong ones listed on the GDAL menu, the only one of them I can see on the raster menu (simplified interface) is "proximity". Which is wrong on both because it should have a capitalised P. ;-)
None of the other wrong ones (all of which start with a lower case character) are on the Raster list as best I can tell.
Or are you referring to a different raster menu?

I agree with Jonathan. The names should be the same on Processing and Raster. Even more so if the devs decide to get rid of Vector/Raster menus in favor of keeping all analytical tools under Processing.
