What if ADB does not have to be that complicated?
summary
A small GUI named Simple ADB builds and runs chains of real adb commands so scripts launch apps, clear app data, take screenshots, input text and tap by content rather than fixed pixels. It uses UI Automator dump XML plus a perl regexp to extract coordinates and a click-by-text step, adds wait steps to handle adb asynchrony, and saves reusable scripts. Demo has flaky timing but ultimately runs; repo is open source and builds for Mac and Windows.
