I respectfully disagree. Thankfully, I don't need to write regex much, so when I do it's always like it's the first time. I don't find the syntax particularly intuitive and I always rely on web-based or third party tools to validate my regex.
Whenever I have worked on code smells (performance issues, fuzzy test fails etc), regex was 3rd only to poorly written SQL queries, and/or network latency.
All-in-all, not a good experience for me. Regex is the one task that I almost entirely rely on GitHub Copilot in the 3-4 times a year I have to.
