More Photoshop like clone/healing brushes in Lightroom!
I love retouching in Photoshop, especially with the content aware fill with the healing tool, but Lightrooms tools are clunky. I don't know if there are technical limitations to implementing tools like Photoshop's in Lightroom but it would be GREAT!
I would rather be able to get a baseline retouched image in Lightroom than having to edit in Photoshop and then come back to Lightroom. I would rather just use Photoshop for image alterations.

So why is this not Under Consideration yet?
Is it either technically impossible or technically difficult? If neither of those then it should be under consideration.

Maybe we don't need an additional "layers" concept if we could have the option of looking at either a chronological history (i.e., what is currently implemented) or an "essential history". Have a look at an example for such an essential history which is basically a list of logically grouped edit actions.

Layers would go beyond that in that one could adjust, say the exposure of both a brush stroke set and a graduate filter in a synchronised fashion, but I'm not sure this is really needed all that often. If there really is big support for layers, however, I still think they would gel well with something along the lines of an essential edit history.

I like the idea of being able to brush in or out any adjustment we might choose to make, including dust spot removal, although if the distraction removal tool is changed to be handled as a brush instead of a circle, then its maybe not so necessary, although I can still imagine it... (e.g. brushing opacity changes after the distraction removal stroke has been layed down)..

Adding layers and / or adding a brush action to spot removal would make develop even more user friendly.

Keeping my fingers crossed this will receive "Under Consideration" status....

I want Lightroom to have exactly what Photoshop has.
In Photoshop I use both Healing with Content Aware Fill on and Clone Stamp tool depending on what I need. Usually use Healing and if I can't get the correct results with that I go to Clone Stamp and adjust to get what I need manually.
