Great scripting language, but has a pretty troubled past.

Once the original creator moved on from ownership, the new owner also had a business with Runescape botting.

The story is that it didn't go well for the maintainers of Autohotkey until another person took the reigns.

Paris/ins3 (the RuneScape botting-related owner of AHK) had a fairly checkered past from what I understand, but most of it was before my time.

The direction RSBot took under his leadership was less than ideal. I lamented the loss of RSBot 2 and local scripts. The subsequent versions, dependent on the SDN, were never as good.
