P: More Photoshop like clone/healing/content aware brushes

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.

    I have found that Aperture's adjustment brushes, retouch tool, and spot & patch tool are very effective in correcting a majority of repairs I make, and they are certainly much easier to use than LR's limiting design.

    Are there some other RAW processors that have a fast healing brush then? I haven't seen one.

    The spot removal needs a lot of improvement for LR4. It was almost useless in LR3. Something more like content aware would be fantastic.

    Please help me get rid of phone wires and other non-circular junk! It's such a common problem and the only reason I go to Photoshop anymore! I have tried stringing clone-spots like little pearls on a necklace, but get blurry results. Really need content-aware cloning in a line.

    Like many Nikon shooters I moved from Capture NX2 to Lightroom 4 for the photo management and publishing conveniences but sad to say the the clone/healing feature set of LR4 pales next to the same though less than impressive Capture NX2 functions. I'm not asking for full Photoshop capability just less of a "hack job" on the clone/heal tools. Thank you very much in advance.

    Awesome. - thank you Eric :-). Yet I can't help but notice the term "similar" being used. Still a "combo/hybridy" kinda thang, eh?

    Local Vibrance in the + direction is very similar to global Vibrance. In the - direction, it is similar to global Saturation.

    Interesting, although confusing. Is it brushing vibrance, exactly, not saturation, or is it some new animal not exactly vibrance, and not exactly saturation??

    i.e. what do you mean "like"...?

    Brushing local vibrance has actually been around since Lightroom 2. (The team decided to name it Saturation, but in fact local Saturation behaves very much like the global Vibrance.)
