Yeah, it's an addiction. :-)

By default, there isn't one.  There's just a "pile of nodes".  If you want a 
site to have a primary tree of some sort, my recommendation is to use the 
menu module and restrict the OTF menu item creation to the Primary Links 
menu.  Then when you create a node, you can assign it to somewhere in that 
menu.  That menu becomes your site structure.

If you want an at-a-glance view of the entire tree, I offer the menutree 
module[1] which was written to create a site map page out of that sort of 
setup.  I've not updated it for 5.0 yet (I will be for a client site soon), 
but it should be trivial to upgrade.  Patches welcome if you want to give it 
a shot. :-)

If you just want a list of nodes, the content page in the admin gives you that 
along with a simple search function.
