There are many of us, myself included, who struggle with Regex. We are common enough that there is a pretty standard joke among developers that if you have a problem and solve it with Regex, congratulations you now have two problems.

I appreciate what you're saying and you're a god among men if you are proficient in Regex but you're not the norm.
