Just very recently I started to work with semantic wikis intensely which use the Vector skin as a standard and where it does not make sense to switch back to MonoBook. Having said this, I would like to suggest that the "Refresh" tab (purge) of the action menu at the top of a page is not collapsed with miscellaneous other tabs but always displayed expanded between the "Edit" and "View history" tabs. Especially for beginners it would be very helpful to make them aware of the possible need to refresh a page.
Removing relation to Vector skin issues. This is the default behaviour indeed, but individual menu items can indicate whether or not Vector should allow them to "come out of the menu" and onto the horizontal menu bar when space is available. The navigation links array in PHP (exposed via the SkinTemplateNavigation hook[1]) contains an array for each tab. Setting property 'primary' to boolean true will instruct Vector to apply class "collapsible".
