AutoIt

Pros: Flexible language, wide support for Windows functions

Cons: Although the code is easily decompilable to the original source format, it needs some sort of obfuscator like the one made by PELock—AutoIt Obfuscator—to prevent source code theft from the competition. Support forums is terrible, they hide any post claiming how easy is to decompile AutoIt executable back to the source code...

Overall: Great product but needs extra protection so people won't steal your work. The better IDE would only do good or an integration within tools like VSCode studio.

Pros: Used AutoIt nearly every day for 5 years or more, at a large multinational, and have written dozens of applications, including data scrapers, report parsers, barcode readers, and mission critical tools to monitor critical hardware and alert support staff if that hardware goes offline.
It has a pretty flat learning curve. It creates standalone executables, and (for the most part) doesn’t require any .dll files to be deployed. There’s downloadable help and a custom version of the SciTE code editor. You can also use Visual Studio Code, as there’s an AutoIt plugin available for that.

Cons: AutoIt is Windows only. If you’re a Linux shop, look elsewhere.

Overall: The user forum is active and very helpful. But they will NOT assist in automating game cheats. This fact is clearly posted in the forum rules. Multiple offenses will get you banned. I suspect that’s the cause of any negative reviews you might read.

Pros: The product itself is good, the community is not. Iv'e used this product for years, however i've refrained from too much activity in the forums due to the below.

Cons: The mod team and devs are horrible. They don't even understand the word automation and that is the entire reason for this application.

Overall: I would give my left nut for an alternative. One only needs to visit their forums and read the responses by the moderator there, and developers.
