We have node sculpting and the tweak tool, what I think would be a great companion to these would be something like Blender's Lattice modifier, where you can take a complex shape and sort of "cage" it with a simpler shape, and use the simpler shape to proportionally "sculpt" the more complex one by moving the nodes in the simple shape, sort of like using the nodes of a simple bezier curve as handles to control the overall shape of a more complex multi-node curve.
...it's just a thought.
We are already working towards that goal! At the moment, a group of French students has looked into something similar (shaping an object by an envelope around it). Perhaps this year's GSoC will end up with a 'lattice modifier'.
