I use yumex for GUI.  For CLI, use yum and different tools.  That is 
what yum is.  It is a CLI package manager.  I use it for remote updates.

Look at
   man yum
to know the full details of the power.  Of course once you add in 
plugins, you now have a more powerful CLI manager.  Much more powerful 
than yumex is.
