About the same AFAICS StrongMEN via StrongED puts "macro name" and the 
injected text on one line. Makro does the same over two lines.
The deciding factor for me is that StrongMen is already running on all 
of my machines, launches applications, gives access to recent file 
history, closes open files and much more, and it does not use any 
screenspace.
