In all fairness it's certainly not the same. Maya's ordering of operations and lack of entry points you can work with is enough to make it not the same. The smooth tool is certainly not the same at a very fundamental level in how and what it averages. Less colourful is one thing, lacking in multi-edit, which is the case, is another.
Sorry, but I disagree with this notion that they might be the same, or close, and you just have to get used to it. Maya's skinning, out of the box, is universally acknowledged as a disgrace. @Will NG-ST goes part way to help with things thanks to a better smooth and better propagation tools, especially for shell like meshes, which is why it's highly recommended. The clunkyness one has to live with even with a crapton of skinning tools piled on top of the OOTB experience.
