I use FC2, so the question is resolved for me. But I suppose
I'll eventually go to a later version. While it was available
for me, I used up2date, with the little icon on the "taskbar"
(or whatever it's called in FC). I had no problems with it.
In fact, it appears to be a GUI to yum.
So, why do I see messages here promoting yum over up2date?
IOW, what advantage does yum have for someone simply wanting
to update his packages?

It is a matter of taste. Since you have discovered it is really the
same program I would choose the on that suits your temperament.
I have a colleague who like me has recently gotten the internet in her
home. We discussed how to sent mail. I told her Evolution works well
she said she is willing only to consider command line programs.
Tastes differ,
