Aside from that design may on a different position, there are definitely cases
where precise mouse positioning is useful. For example, with menus, which
are usually located in the same position.
The actions in VS are sufficient in many cases, but unfortunately
too limiting for me, as they don't support some commands.

The macro recorder in CorelDraw was on a completely different level.
Because the recorded steps were are converted into Visual Basic
commands, allowing for to be edited after recording to insert loops or
additional commands.
In one of my jobs, I frequently used the standalone tool "AutoIt," which also
allows for precise mouse positioning. The manufacturer's specific vector
graphics/printing program didn't have any actions or macros. "AutoIt" is a
well known Windows Tool for automating Tasks in App which didnt have
a Action/Makro recorder.
With this, I was able to automate many tasks, such as creating numerous
DIN vector graphics symbols in various sizes. Doing this manually would
have taken weeks. (DIN is a german Norm, in this case for Symbols)

Unfortunately, VS doesn't follow Windows conventions sometimes in this
regard, so it is not possible to use AutoIt in it. I think that when scripting is
introduced (it's on the roadmap), the possibilities will expand in a way
where I would be happier with.
