I don't know if DNF's is better, but yum tracks groups too - it was
about the last major feature added to yum:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/YumGroupsAsObjects
An important note, though, is that no Fedora release so far has
written the groups installed during installation out to the installed
system. That is, when you install Fedora Workstation 21, neither yum
nor dnf will know the 'workstation-product' group is installed (unless
dnf infers it somehow, I haven't checked).
