WIMP environment: n. [acronym: ‘Window, Icon, Menu, Pointing device (or Pull-down
menu)’] A graphical-user-interface environment such as
X or the Macintosh interface, esp. as described by a
hacker who prefers command-line interfaces for their superior flexibility
and extensibility. However, it is also used without negative connotations;
one must pay attention to voice tone and other signals to interpret
correctly. See menuitis,
user-obsequious.
