You shouldn't have to go back and forth between user and root with regular yum either.
Really? I do.
Start yum and it complains that I'm not root

Well, sure you have to expect that.
But when you start Yum Extender, it /will/ ask you to specify the root password. Now, sure, it asks you that just once--but you /do/ have to supply it.
Nevertheless, I heartily recommend yumex, for a whole host of reasons. It gives me everything I wanted in a GUI front-end, while allowing me to see what it's doing (through its Output window), just as I can see right now on the command line.
A very valuable customization and administration tool--and one I would like to see made part of Fedora Core, or Fedora Extras at least.
