I've been using AutoHotkey as well as AutoIt in the past. If I need keyboard macro, I use AHK. But if I need automation that interacts with other apps, I use AutoIt. It's fairly easy to get started writing scripts, but I've never liked the language/syntax of either AHK or AutoIt. One thing I wish I could do this is to write everything in Python, Lua, etc...

Work on modernizing AutoHotkey's syntax has been ongoing for years, and the v2 alpha makes huge (backwards-incompatible) steps to make the syntax simpler and more consistent. https://autohotkey.com/v2/v2-changes.htm

Does anyone know how this compares to Sikuli(x)?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can use AutoIt's Python wrapper, its somewhat reliable and I use it in automation in production.

This? https://pypi.org/project/PyAutoIt/ Curious if you have tried the other method (I have not): https://stackoverflow.com/a/9371563
