Unwrapping UVs in Maya 2015 is one of the very rare things where I find Maya to actually be better than most stuff out there that isn't strictly UV centric (and the UI isn't a throwback to the early 90s SGI like UVL's).
Unfolding works as well as it did in Soft, like Luke said, but on top you have tension display and better shell management. Worth a shot instead of resisting it and assuming it's crap by default.
