The problem here is you have a clue. As a result you are looking at this from
the prospective of understanding a command line. The average person migrating
from a windoze environment NEVER wants to see a command line no matter how
simple. If there was a gui for yum the chances of my using it on my own
machines are nil but I can see the value of it for users that want to 
install/remove additional packages on their own and have "command-line-phobia".
