After using the Lightroom's RAW adjustments all the way, I do some adjustments in Curves and then in Hue/Saturation, followed by a smart sharpening. I also do some retouching using the dodge/burn tools.
But, generally, I have the impression, even when the image just opens in Photoshop, just coming from LR, and without any adjustments made, it somehow looks better, more alive in its light. ( Metaphors needed, as it is a subjective impression, that is not quite quantifiable in factual terms).
