I just changed jobs from developing on Windows to developing on a Linux virtual machine in Windows. I miss AutoHotkey so much. There are so many things that the command line can't do -- GUI commands, window switchers, and so on.
It's a great example of how "learn to automate" can beat "learn to code". When you know how to do something by hand, learning enough about a program's API to do the same thing is a separate learning curve and may not be possible. Telling AutoHotkey "Do it like I do by hand, just faster" always works.
