I worked with AutoHotkey and thought the language was difficult. I suppose it is either an acquired taste or some people have affinity for it. I was a long-time Perfect Keyboard user but am now a huge fan of AutoIt.
Though it is Basic-like I can still write "C" -like programs which is most comfortable for me.
And the libraries for AutoIt, what a time saver. For example, the library for IE has a lot of great and useful functions.
Good IDE and active user community.
My vote is with AutoIt.
