I like Yum Extender myself.  Interface isn't the best but it has been a 
workhorse for me since it came out as Yumex.

In fc25 it's /usr/bin/yumex-dnf

Works for me.

Thanks. Looks quite good, especially the timeline feature, but doesn't
appear to have any repo-managing facility.

Yumex is deprecated for Dnfdragora:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Replace_yumex-dnf_with_dnfdragora

Dnfdragora uses the same dnfdaemon backend as Yumex-DNF (and has taken over 
the upstream development of dnfdaemon), but it supports Qt, GTK+ and ncurses 
whereas Yumex was GTK+ only.

Saw this for the first time today.  Looks nice.


Notices that yumex-dnf was still available for F26.
