    Very easy, well documented and powerfull script language. Once you start using it you will never stop. But, one thing is missing to make AutoIt perfect: Debugger

    It needs polish but is a powerful tool to get started fast with autohotkey even if you know nothing about programing, the catch is that some times it get stuck and need to restart but is totally worth it if you wand a macro knowing almost nothing and geting done really quick

    Simplicity: Windows 10 has broken storage of shortcuts keys to .lnk files; this is a good replacement with additional capabilities.
