1. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003)
menuitis
 /men`yoo?i:'tis/, n.

    Notional disease suffered by software with an obsessively simple-minded
    menu interface and no escape. Hackers find this intensely irritating and
    much prefer the 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.
