WYSIAYG
WYSIWYG
This term refers to the fact that cutting off an experienced user from more advanced features and system tools is easy to use (designed for beginners), but functional interface tiles.
An example is comparing visual text editors or desktop publishing software with TeX - in these early cases, there is often no way to precisely define the features of the selected elements, which in turn is possible in controlled TeX commands.
