title: What better tool than Sikuli to use for screen automation on Windows 7 (or preferably multi-platform)
body: <p>I'm using <a href="http://sikuli.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sikuli</a> for Screen automation. i.e for clicking of GUI elements according to their appearance on the screen. This works all right, but Sikuli has one major disadvantage for me:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Slow start-up for each script (because the whole JVM is loaded each time).</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Further more on Sikuli is not much development happening since last year, so I am looking for a replacement automation tool. The big ticket I need is <em>screen awareness</em>: The tool has to &quot;look&quot; for certain UI elements on the screen, than move the mouse there and issue a click.</p>
  <p>Any suggestion for a faster and maybe better maintained tool than Sikuli?</p>
