"autoit website is hacked?"
Version: AutoIt 3.3.6.1
Pros
None!!!! I will not download or use autoit while their website is so shady.
Cons
Upwards of a dozen 3rd party sites are accessed, one of which, seek4quick.com would not let me close it's tab and kept throwing up an aggravating dialog box. Sub-pages cause my anti-virus to throw warnings.

"Powerful and Easy To Use"
Version: AutoIt 3.3.6.1
Pros
-Easy to understand scripting language
-Large library of built-in functions
-Support for user defined function
-Ability to call DLL's, extending the software's ability in many different waysCons
-User support form forbids using the software for game bots, which is censorship if you ask me.
-The macro recorder utility that comes with it is buggySummary
Overall, a very good mix of easy to understand scripting language coupled with powerful functions. If you know what you're doing, you can create some powerful applications let alone simple macros.

"Does it all. Recording would be nice."

"Indispensable for my work in IT support."
Version: AutoIt 3.3.6.1
Pros
Easy to learn and use. An incredible support forum.
Cons
It's not available for the Mac. This isn't really fair, but it's the only thing I could think of.
Summary
AutoIt is a programming language originally designed to automate installing applications in Windows. It has become a comprehensive programming language with complete access to the OS plus the ability to manipulate open applications and background processes. Support from forum members is better than the support for any commercial product I've ever had. I've used AutoIt for over eight years and love it.

"Excellent Windows automation that created .exe files"
Version: AutoIt 3.3.4.0
Pros
Simple to use, the examples help enormously. Used it to automate the starting and stopping of my Twonky Media Server that's on a NAS drive (one click on the .exe instead of several hundred keystrokes and opening 4 apps!).
Cons
No macro recorder functionality (as in WinBatch).
Summary
Great time saving application that creates exe files that can be run on any machine even if Autoit isn't installed on the machine.
-
"I installed it ... I uninstalled it."
Version: AutoIt 3.3.0.0
Pros
Neat gimick at best.
Cons
Installs on your PC and runs in the system tray.
Summary
Not really sure what uses this would have for a home user, as anything that would need automating is available through other means like scheduled tasks and even vbscript.
-
"Wicked confusing"
Version: AutoIt 3.3.0.0
Pros
I like the concept
Cons
This program is so confusing that help is needed just to find the help program.
-
"AutoHotkey is much better."
Version: AutoIt 3.2.8.1
Pros
Familiar to BASIC programmers.
Cons
Slow and confusing.
Summary
AutoHotkey should be used instead.
