1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: WYSIAYG /wiz'ee?ayg/, adj. Describes a user interface under which ?What You See Is All You Get?; an unhappy variant of WYSIWYG. Visual, ?point-and-shoot?-style interfaces tend to have easy initial learning curves, but also to 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.
