I don't know Coded UI but I know AutoIt very well

and I think AutoIt doesn't meet your criteria in any way.

AutoIt is general purpose programming language and not finished tool for automatizing/testing.

You have to create your tool by yourself if you are skilled in programming/scripting.

The questions make it feel like AutoIt is being compared to an IDE and not as a scripting language.
