The ultimate macro/automation tool IMO is Alfred, but in order to use all of its advanced features to build and use workflows, use text expanding snippets, set up automation, and even run highly complex scripts, you will have to pay for the Powerpack which is actually slightly more expensive than Keyboard Maestro (I have it installed though and it's an app I've more than felt like I received my money's worth use I use and write a ton of workflows for everyday use. It's not free though and it's barely cheaper than Keyboard Maestro.
With a single click of a button, you can have everything open and ready for you to get to work no matter where all of your apps and documents are saved. If you want to automate the opening of regularly used various apps and folders and files for certain projects, you could look into Workspaces. If you can think logically and navigate JSON, then you'll probably be fine. KE does allow for much more complex macros though, which while aren't hard to build, aren't easy either. The easiest KE function is key swapping like relocating a more useful key in place of an unused one. Karabiner Elements is great (I have it) if you're just looking to build macro functions to speed up your keyboard usage. Honestly though, you won't find much if anything, that's free with a compatible feature set. It completely depends on what you want to use Keyboard Maestro for.
