is there a way to digitize polygons with the new vector digitizer tool, using existing borders? I mean, if I have to digitize two adjacent polygons, how can I start one exactly where the other finishes, using the line shared by the two, without having to digitize it twice?
Thanks,

AFAIK, you have to break the existing border at the points where the new border will finishes. Then use the "new area" tool and just digitize starting from one of these points and arriving at the other.

... If lacking, please add this to the manual.
Done in r64839. Not sure if it is very clear though. Maybe someone could check and then I can backport.
