I love the idea of Hammerspoon but I have yet to figure out a single concrete use-case for me that I actually care about. It feels like a lot of what I see people talking about is window management but I don't want window management (I actually like overlapping windows). Jumping between apps doesn't really matter either, I usually need my mouse with a lot of apps so it's not a big deal to click them in the dock if cmd-tab isn't good. And I already use an Alfred workflow for hotkeys to control iTunes.

I actually had Hammerspoon installed for multiple years on my home computer and the only thing I ever wrote with it was a hotkey to reload my Hammerspoon config.

While I’ve found hammerspoon works great for window management, I’ve recently explored trying to create semi advanced automation workflows with it and I agree that it’s not really fleshed out for this type of work (although it seems doable)
