since you asked, AHK is free and can do pretty much anything, therefore AHK
is better. You picked a wrong spot to market your product.

If you can't figure that out by yourself, no one can help you there I guess, get over it.

i wold say:
there is probably nothing you can`t do with ahk, too,
but some things might be easier with automise, especially when you have no experience with coding.

Guest10, i think you are the one is not getting it. FYI if someone is trying to market a product it doesn't mean that they have to be a 1 post spammer to do that.

So, from your attitude guys, I guess that anybody asking for some comparison between AHK and any non-open source, paid automation product would be deemed as a marketing spammer, right ? No chance at all about some genuine curiosity ?

Since when is it heretical to open such thread for comparison sakes ?!? :roll:

Similar story when news of Prism came about...

So, I guess the thing I found odd was Mozilla appears to be building something very similar to Adobe AIR (which is fine and cool), but somehow it is inherently good when Mozilla [open source] does it, and inherently evil when Adobe [proprietary] does it.

At the end of the day, businesses exist to make money, which when all said and done is the basic description of it all. The public sector such as governments, schools, education centres, and individuals would be more interested in open source developments as it's readily available at no cost or technological barrier, and they can be sure that the developers' hold their consumers best interests at the very top of their agenda. The debate over proprietary vs. free software is one that has been going on for decades. While both have their strengths and weaknesses, open source advocates (ahk users) don't take kindly to commercial competition. The converse is even more true. Therefore I think BoBo was right to point out how ignorant user was.

No he was NOT right, you're completely out-of-subject there. Bobo's first reply was arrogant, unjustified and clumsy. Once again and just as Guest10 had mentioned; the man asked a simple question damn it.
You're not being a good advocate there Sir :roll:

I have not tried it, but it looks nice, probably easy to use for non-techies. In the "back-end" it uses VBScript for scripting, which is a definitive turn-off for me. Most of it's functionality seems reproducable with AHK, albeit more cumbersome than a "developed package" like this seems to be. Still, nothing I'd be too interested in.

Reminds me too much of MacroExpress ( :evil: ) and it is expensive (too)...

Most utilities and/or resources mentioned in this forum-section are free. It is "good rule" to at least mention it when some resource needs to be payed for. Some of the reactions on this posting are clearly too overdone, but the "reeks like spam"-reactions could have been avoided if something like the term "payware" was mentioned...

:wink:

Not really.
a) It's a fact that its payware. It's not arrogant to point this out.
B) The initial question has given some space about the intention of the requester. I've decided to make my own mind. Nobody had to share my/that point of view at that time. But after (a) user has given some more information about is intention I've appologized for being wrong with my assumption.

IMHO, n-l-i-d has found the right words to point out why things were going (wrong) like they did.
