You have both G and Y, but it's one tool, two if they end up in different buffers, in Soft if you have four or five things you're doing in a sequence you can literally middle click your way through a lot of stuff. It's not uncommon for operations that are equivalent in both apps to take three or four times the clicks in Maya.
