Some people seem to find Jeff Atwood ranting about how fantastic regexes are annoying. Every time I read another article like that, though, I just find myself smiling and nodding.
Only thing that's kind of annoying is that the whole world hasn't moved to Perl regexes yet (with which I'm most familiar and think most fluently). I nearly punched the air when I learned Apache used PCRE for stuff like mod_rewrite.
