Admin Script editor ASE VS AU3

[EdDyreen]

Didn't know where to post this question so posting it here

Before I became aware of the existance of AU3 I downloaded several script editors 'some years ago'

When I discovered ASE I found it quite a nice program

many function of ASE have a striking resemblance to au3 but the help files really suck &it's hard to learn.

It doesn't come close to au3 regarding to functionality &transparancy

Most above all it's PAYWare !

So why is it that au3 is so much better ? &why would people pay for worse ?

Am i missing something ?

How do the dev's of au3 make a living apart from selling coffeecups

As far as I know the Devs have a job other than AutoIt.

The little spare time they have is spent improving AutoIt.

Its also better than anything. Period.

You can update where ASE gets its keyword help from in the settings, I set mine to the DX21.com site suggested in the help:
