menuitis /men`yoo-i:'tis/ n.
Notional disease suffered by

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.
