nospamYou don't have to preach to the choir. I use LR5 + PS CC, my transition to LR for performing the bulk of my adjustments/edits started with LR4. Now I only make the round trip to PS and back when there is an absolute need for PS tools and/or features. I still have access to the NIK Collection & the OnOne Suite in both LR5 & PS CC. The LR export feature is a more convenient tool for resizing batches of finished images than anything PS provides, and the same can be said for the print module.

It is not a clone tool. It does not replicate what the clone tool is capable of. You have to dick around with it to get it to use the area you want it to use which makes it less effective. Useful for some things, but not as effective, and certainly not easier to use.
It is not the equal of the PS clone tool, but it is there and when used judiciously it works. Once you have used it and understand when it works and when it doesn't, it is reasonably easy to work with. You just have to understand when you should move to PS as an external editor. For complex cloning, patching, and where the content aware features have to come into their own, LR cannot compete. However, for most editing it does just fine.
not only does it do just fine, but it is easier to use.
the edge cases can always be round-tripped to photoshop, but those are very rare.
