Perhaps I've mentioned this before, but nothing was so easy to use as Mac System 6's MacroMaker.
Just start it up, go through whatever process is required, save the Macro, and you're done. It might not have been very elegant visually (everything including Menu pulls and button clicks was visible when running the macros, and it sort of reminded me of early film comic slapstick), but it seemed always to work no matter what the application. As someome who has slugged through Applescript GUI scripting, I miss a tool so simple and yet so effective. THAT'S the way a macro tool "for the rest of us" should operate!
