Macro recorders work by measuring mouse motion and capturing click locations, or by recording the control IDs of the clicked windows. The former is sensitive to changing window locations, the latter to application updates. Sikuli works by using image analysis to locate the regions on the screen to be tickled. It's a novel idea, although others have correctly pointed out that it's not the most efficient way to automate applications. -- Tim Roberts, timr(a)probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.

I can see Sikuli easily progressing to a full visual programming interface, replacing the 'click' keyword et al with iconic representations. Simple "script-less" GUI macro-ing for the masses?
