Does anyone know how Hammerspoon compares to keyboard maestro?

Hammerspoon is free, but you have to write your automation scripts in Lua. If your comfortable with Lua this might be totally fine and give you a lot of flexibility.

Keyboard Maestro on the other side is commercial software with a nice UI editor were you can compose automation scripts by simply dragging and dropping actions. Personally I use Keyboard Maestro and find it absolutely worth its money. Even without any programming experience you can create powerfull scripts within minutes. I use it as clipboard manager, snippet manager, text expansion and much more.
