AutoHotkey Community

[AHKnow*]

You know.... AutoHotkey IS FASTER. This was not my main reason to choose it over AutoIt, but its another reason to use AutoHotkey.

Also, not just faster in execution either. AutoHotkey is faster to learn, faster think up a program, and faster to type the program out (if you are not using autocomplete).

Still, AutoIt has some advantages, but you could just use VBScript or JScript or Python , FileAppend, Cscript.exe, and also CMDret if needed. Or... Even mix AutoIt and AutoHotkey.

I came across with AHK first.
So, I use AHK. Why use other?

[AutoGuest]

AHK is easier because it was always the same syntax.
AutoIt has changed the syntax from version 2 to 3, which makes it harder for long-time scripters to script (if they haven't scripted in a while).

Why use autoit instead of ahk?
Autoit v3 has thousands more commands than ahk with com support, IE, web based, ActiveX, dlls and lots of other features (mostrly UDFs created by autoit users), instead ahk is just a copy of the source code by someone with lack of abilities (this is why ahk has such a few features and not been developed further from the Autoit v2 [dos commands])

Take a look at forums of autoit , you ll see 20000 more users, and experts, great features and lots of help, what can be done with ahk in 5 lines can be done much shorter in AutoItv3

You want to compare scripts??? look in au3 forums in the example scripts section. you will find outstanting scripts , great udfs and deticated community scripters... and then take a look at ahk forums .... Pfffff

-----

Much more people know AutoIt and use it , ahk is just a wortherless copy
Autoit managed to get special in a world that programming languages are as many as spoken languages

[Guest]

not to mention that half of ahk stuffs are from autoit like compiler...
not too mention that even the idea of Scite4Autoit has been stolen to create Scite4Ahk .... but those noobs here are unable to make a proper use of scilexer.dll

Linux created an OS for freaks, Microsoft created one for noobs, and look who won the battle. Now even all those freaks have become happy noobs.

What is going on here ?

Did somebody on AU3 forum launched campaign against AHK? Cuz suddenly I can see bunch of freaks attacking from every side a community that was until recently peaceful place. So you can later link this topic to spread stories to other poor people like you in the manner "look how I told them".

Or is it periodic like year season's ? Something in the constelation of stars and moon phase make, otherwise nice AU3 people become insane zombies that wonder around AHK place reviving old and forgoten things and attacking passer-bys

I am not going to waste my precious time discussing the worst things this planet has to offer, but I can't go without underscoring some of the greatest bullsht I heard so far:

Dear AutoScriptKey creator, I am not going into to fight you, but asking why attacking AutoHotkey? What is your ambition? If you want compare AHK and AU3, please do it without flaming.

Before I started with AHK, I compared AHK against AU3, and I choosed AHK. Currently, AU3 has some advantages to AHK, thats right. But AHK has also advantages, don`t forget this, please. Thats all what I have to say.

to AutoScriptKey

I used both before, and I have chosen Autohotkey.
Do you think we(ahk users) don't know about Autoit at all?
we know Autoit is a great tool or language and spend some time with it.
But finally we turned to Autohotkey and still stay with AutoHotkey.
What does it tell you?
