I've already played with the symmetry painting in a pre-release build and it works well. Also, during a live stream on twitch, they've confirmed the Quixel Colors plugin also coming to Blender soon.

Honestly it's what I'm waiting for. Colors is an intuitive panel you can search. As it stands, the current method for Blender loads in like a ton of color-shaded spheres that I've gotta hunt for the right material in the scene list.

Oh that sounds like something I'd like as well. Thanks for the heads-up.

Well it wont mean much without Quixel, but I suppose you could use the colors for any ID map really.
