This is an old discussion. See [1] for example.

The menu entry File->Import vector data->Common import formats actually 
does not launch v.in.ogr as such, but a GUI import wizard which launches 
v.in.ogr.

The general gist of those in favor of simple versions of the wizard is 
that the wizard should only show the basic functionality to ease use.

Those who want to use the full-power v.in.ogr can launch it using 
v.in.ogr --ui in the console.

In GRASS7.2 the main import wizard actually uses v.import which allows 
reprojection during the import. It also gives access to the more 
detailed parameters. However, v.import does not provde min_area. If this 
is considered necessary, then a ticket should be opened.
