The most eye catching issue I always read is about pirut. Then someone would
always suggests yumex for features users are looking for not in pirut. If
that is the case, why not make yumex the default?
I believe the idea is that pirut follows the GNOME HIG. Yumex is a
great application for people who want to tweak their package
installations, but for the 80-90% case where the user just wants the
latest updates, pirut satisfies those needs. You could make the same
argument for just about any set of purposed applications. Ultimately a
sane and simple default is required.
