Choosing a Windows Automation script language. Autoit vs Autohotkey.
- by PA
I need to choose a windows automation program. Which one do you recommend? AutoIt, AutoHotkey, others?
I have read http://paperlined.org/apps/autohotkey/autoit_and_autohotkey.html , interesting history but without a clear recommendation. Searching on google leaves a winner (around 312k hits for AutoHotkey Windows vs 482k hits for AutoIt Windows). In StackOverflow there are 15 questions tagged as AutoIt vs 18 for AutoHotkey.
I am interested on your opinion as programmers. Which one do you think is easier to use, more deployable and more powerful in terms of functionality?
Note: I have already used AutoHotkey for personal use. So my initial preference is for this.
