Docker vs AutoHotkey

Docker creates a single object, containing an application with its dependencies, that can be moved between any docker-enabled machines, guaranteeing the same environment for application execution.

Docker tracks changes in systems. It allows for commits and rollbacks and for quick deployment due to having to deploy only the updated code.

Docker essentially allows creating boilerplate systems (a LAMP stack, for example) that can be used as a starting point on multiple projects. And you can find multiple such containers already created by people in their public registry.

Allows automatically assembling a container from its source code.

Docker allows easily pushing and pulling containers to and from their public index.docker.io registry. Additionally, dotCloud maintains a list of official repositories of the more popular containers.

You can set up Docker within an already virtualized environment such as a virtual machine. This allows you to run Docker on Mac and Windows, among other use-cases.

Docker can be used with OpenVZ, systemd-nspawn, libvirt-lxc, libvirt-sandbox, qemu/kvm, BSD Jails, Solaris Zones, and chroot.

Basic Stuff is very easy and even advanced programming is possible, as the language is now able to use objects and classes and has a ton of free libraries and one of the most helpful and friendly communities on the Internet.

Can interact with any Windows program / dialog / form, filling fields, submitting data, etc., without dependency on the window placement.

You can reprogram any key combination, including the Windows key with a syntax like this one:

h::msgbox true

that automatically remaps the H key to show a message box.

AHK allows full scripts to be created and used, it is very flexible.

C-like languages dominate the industry, making it easier to switch over to other ones in the C family.

With a full programming language powering the hotkeys, including GUIs, it is powerful and flexible.
