two-pane outliner that can show more than one note at a time in the viewer/editor pane?

Multiple open windows is indeed a beneficial feature for researchers and writers.

EN has this feature, as does:
* WhizFolders
* MyBase
* MyInfo (tho you can only write in the window open in the edit pane - to change in the next version)

Combined with its other writer friendly features, my pick is WizFolders.
