For the normal user (like me) dnf is neither better nor worse than yum.
In fact it is almost identical.
In my view, the introduction of a new name was completely unnecessary
and the cause of the only (small) complication with the changeover,
eg should I look in /etc/yum.repos.d/ or /etc/dnf.repos.d/ ?
Also, yum had associations which it was sad to lose.
