Fedora keeps sendmail — for now

just saying "it's too hard" and giving up is not a solution.

to configure either an MUA or an MTA there's a certain minimum amount of knowledge and understanding (or at least facts, like the smarthost name or IP address) required.

the same questions will be asked of the user, and a useful answer required - whether that's asked in a dialog/whiptail popup, a GUI dialog, or a plain tty style.

also, some here seem to think that only a GUI or ncurses app is an MUA. or that only automated scripts, cron job need to send mail via command-line interface.

/usr/sbin/sendmail *IS* an MUA. as is /usr/bin/mail. I can use them to send useful information to any email address....and I can do it reliably and conveniently, with consistent and documented command-line options.

grep foobar /var/log/something.log | sendmail me@somewhere.example.com

that's using an MUA. if i want to get fancy, i can use other command-line tools to compress the log extract and send it as a properly formatted mime-attachment.
