In fact, I find the adjustment brush even more versatile than the dodge/burn option in CS. The graduated filter is also a godsend for pepping up skies that are too light or foregrounds that are too dark. The only thing I now miss in LR for straightforward processing is a perspective correction option (in LR 3 perhaps?). My love of lenses of 21mm and less make it very useful at times.
