What (who) is menuitis - definition
menuitis
/men"yoo-i:"tis/ A 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 customisable via macros or a
special-purpose language in which one can encode useful hacks.
