Coming from softimage, you expect to do everything in the Outliner/Explorer, but in Maya the Outliner displays the DAG (i.e. the scene hierarchy), and then there is the Relationship Editor for connections, sets, driven keys, everything that's relationships. It's unified and consistent in that way.
it's possible that in the future Maya's Outliner will be more like XSI's explorer but that doesn't help you right now so I don't preface my posts with theoretical blah blah blahs. We started to introduce something like relationship editors later in Softimage's life with the XSI Explorer, set driven key, keyable parameter editor, etc. Rejean was a big fan of having views with two Explorers side-by-side like Maya's relationship editors.
