I love AutoHotkey, and it works wonderfully in the niche of writing a bunch of tiny UI- and workflow-smoothing functions, like how an Emacs user gradually builds up tweaks in their config file. The one time I tried to use it for scripting that required more than the most basic logic, I ran screaming back to Python. Over a decade of well-meaning development and reasonable design choices have resulted in AHK growing a syntax Frankensteined together from Basic, JavaScript, and batch script. Thankfully the upcoming AHK 2 is cleaning up a lot of the mess.
