Though it's true that AHK v1 was a bit eccentric or wonky, it did a really good job at its primary purposes, among them making it easy for non-programmers and newbies to use it.
I've talked to and read about so many people that needed to do programming tasks, but couldn't or were intimidated by conventional programming languages, that found AHK v1 a lifesaver for them. Many tend to forget or not factor in small businesses, IT personnel, architects, office workers, etc... People who are not trained programmers or whose companies will not pay for the services of real programmers to make job tasks more efficient. That's where AutoHotkey has found a way in, to the joy of many of its users.
While AHK v2 is an improvement in many ways, I think it's also important to not lose sight of why lots of people fell in love with AutoHotkey in the first place. Making programming accessible and easy to use, to solve the problems they are dealing with.
