When I go to heat my tea up in the microwave [...] I just open the door, press "micro power", press "10s" three times and press "go".
...and that interface does something similar, but even more complex with incrementing counters, interacting event loops and so on. You don't really try to do mods quite as complicated to your microwave as you do your PC. If you ever wanted to, you'd find it

And when I heat something in the microwave I turn the little knob to the setting I want, then turn the timer to the number of minutes I want it to heat.
I like simplicity.
