I'm surprised that these acronyms haven't become more mainstream. Web searches on the terms return mostly references to flames.

WIMP - Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointers. The traditional and still dominant GUI layout utilized by Windows, the Macintosh and some websites such as Oddpost.

FILTH - Formatting, Images, Links, Text and Hypermedia. The dominant layout method utilized by websites. Considering that web browsers were adopted by people quicker than WIMP GUIs, you would think that more applications would be written using a FILTH interface.
