I've use both Maya and Softimage (XSI) for years, and the problem (imo) that many will make is that they're two different applications. You simply can't go into one and expect it to work in the same way to something else. This is no different to when jumping to Modo, Houdini, or Max.

But if you must, and want to open multiple outliners ala Softimage, you can do it with something like this: // MEL //------------------------------------- window -t "Outliner" -wh 200 500; frameLayout -labelVisible false; string $panel = `outlinerPanel`; showWindow; //------------------------------------- Yeah, you have to script a lot in Maya. Even for stupid things like this. Knowing basic scripting in SI is very useful, but in Maya, not knowing basic scripting may be critical.
