Wysiwyg : /wiz'ee-wig/ or /wiss'ee-wig/ adj. [Traced to Flip Wilson's
"Geraldine" character c.1970] Describes a user interface under which
"What You See Is What You Get", as opposed to one that uses more-or-less
obscure commands that do not result in immediate visual feedback. True
WYSIWYG in environments supporting multiple fonts or graphics is a a
rarely-attained ideal; there are variants of this term to express
real-world manifestations including WYSIAWYG (What You See Is _Almost_
What You Get) and WYSIMOLWYG (What You See Is More or Less What You
Get). All these can be mildly derogatory, as they are often used to
refer to dumbed-down user-friendly interfaces targeted at
non-programmers; a hacker has no fear of obscure commands (compare
WYSIAYG). On the other hand, EMACS was one of the very first WYSIWYG
editors, replacing (actually, at first overlaying) the extremely
obscure, command-based TECO. See also WIMP environment. [Oddly
enough, WYSIWYG has already made it into the OED, in lower case yet.
