V-REP has provided path planning and motion planning functionality and both have serve their purpose quite well.
In the aspect of robot grasping task, it will be great if you can incorporate grasping planning capabilities in the future release, one example of grasping planner is the GraspIt!

the main reason for integrating path planning, motion planning, kinematics, etc. in V-REP is:
- to be able to serve 90% of the users. Most users do not want to have to study, install, fix, etc. complicated libraries. They just want to use them in a simple fashion, in order to solve another problem.

Cheers
