What You See Is All You Get
(WYSIAYG) /wiz' ee-ayg/ Describes a user interface under which "What You See Is *All* You Get" an unhappy variant of WYSIWYG. Visual, "point-and-drool interfaces" are easy to learn but often lack depth they often frustrate advanced users who would be better served by a command-style interface. When this happens, the frustrated user has a WYSIAYG problem. This term is most often used of editors, word processors, and document formatting programs. WYSIWYG "{desktop publishing}" programs, for example, are a clear win for creating small documents with lots of fonts and graphics in them, especially things like newsletters and presentation slides. When typesetting book-length manuscripts, on the other hand, scale changes the nature of the task one quickly runs into WYSIAYG limitations, and the increased power and flexibility of a command-driven formatter like TeX or Unix' s troff becomes not just desirable but a necessity.
