Come on, every thing in Fedora changes all the time, It is hard for me to see the fuzz about
having to type 'dnf install foobar', instead of 'yum install foobar'
If you uses a tool like yum at the command line, you should be able to handle that.
more novice users will use gui tool and don't care how the command line tool is named.
Having contributed and tracked yum development for many years, I have heard a lot of BS about how bad and slow yum is and some other tool is much better.
Now the dnf team has done a lot of work to clean things up and make a more maintainable codebase and an documented API, that makes it much easier to build other tools.
some more exotic features will go away, but if there are good use cases, they can be added as plugins.
Instead of complaining, try to be constructive and test dnf and make a RFE if something vital is missing.
In my work on make yumex work with the dnf API, the DNF team has be very helpful to extending API, if there is a solid usecase
