Choosing a Windows automation scripting language. AutoIt vs Autohotkey

I’ve used both very much.

AutoHotKey is very good at managing hotkeys and basic GUI automation. It’s syntax is horrible and it’s not meant for bigger applications.

AutoIt has almost every feature AutoHotKey has and much more. COM-automation support, arrays and a pretty nice UDF (User Defined Functions) library. It’s harder to build complex hotkeys in AutoIt.
