Dealing with different UIs can be challenging and irritating, at least for a while until my aging brain groks how it works and I get a little time to get used to it.

Jerry,

Thank-you for the Robert Heinlein reference. I sometimes think I am the only "Stranger in a strange land" these days. We all need to mellow more.

LOL… funny thing, I’ve been using that term for years and years without really thinking about it’s origin. As far as being a Stranger in a Strange Land… well, I live in Oregon. Need I say more?

Usage of the word crept into my vocabulary with reading Carey Bunks' in-depth "Grokking the GIMP" tutorial book. On versions 1.x that was, early noughts.

I'm guessing it still retains some everyday presence?

Yup.... though most likely preserved to some extent by those of us who are... ummm... "of age."  There was a period of time (though can't remember exactly when) that this was used fairly frequently, at least among many of the people I used to hang around with.  I sort of let it slip out without considering the fact that it's probably not exactly a commonly used term these days.
