Characterization of a (graphical) user interface. Often misused. People say "user friendly" when they mean "easy to learn" and not "easy and efficient to use". For instance, command line user interfaces are hard to learn but very efficient in use. People using Windows are terribly inefficient, but they are happy because they learn the interface easily.
