 for WIMP environment
From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) :

  WIMP environment n. [acronym: `Window, Icon, Menu, Pointing device (or
     Pull-down menu)'] A graphical-user-interface environment such as X or
     the Macintosh interface, esp. as described by a hacker who prefers
     command-line interfaces for their superior flexibility and
     extensibility. However, it is also used without negative connotations;
     one must pay attention to voice tone and other signals to interpret
     correctly. See menuitis, user-obsequious.
