user-hostile

adj

Etymology

From user + hostile, influenced by user-friendly.

Definitions

  1. Difficult to use, especially for an untrained user.

    • Usability is not a quality that can be spread out to cover a poor design like a thick layer of peanut butter, so a user-hostile interface does not get user-friendly even by the addition of a brilliant help system.
