I am admittedly biased with this response, but Keyboard Maestro is the first app I install whenever I get a new Mac device. The two biggest "Pros" that I would mention:

  • You can make it do so many things, that it is the first place I turn to when I want to automate anything. Snippets, executing scripts, mouse clicks, etc. There just is not a lot that I do that it cannot do.
