Now that I have a faster system, I find I am using the Brush tool much more, eg to burn in out-of-gamut highlights instead of using Highlight Recovery. It's great, but a little limited and could be improved.
Most frustrating is how the auto mask works. There needs to be a 'feather' option to soften the edges of the mask, because as it is now it produces some really nasty edge artefacts in any area without a clearly defined edge. It would also be an improvement to be able to select a single reference point for the mask, rather than taking the reference from the centre of the brush, and to be able to set a sensitivity, like using the Magic Wand tool in Photoshop.
The 'O' toggle to view the mask is great, and using Alt with the brush to reduce the mask is very helpful.
One other thing I'd like is to be able to collapse all of the brush strokes used to create the mask once I'm finished into a single history step.
If this gets agreement I'll post it as a feature request with Adobe.
