menuitis
menuitis /men`yoo-i:'tis/ /n./ Notional disease suffered by
software with an obsessively simple-minded menu interface and no
escape. Hackers find this intensely irritating and much prefer the
flexibility of command-line or language-style interfaces,
especially those customizable via macros or a special-purpose
language in which one can encode useful hacks. See
user-obsequious, drool-proof paper, WIMP
environment, for the rest of us.
