Personally I kind of see it per project, how much it'll be used and on the language in general. For some minor usage of it without having to make something overly complicated I find this would be perfect for what is needed. However I do agree with your points, some of my projects (Java and C# specifically) I've stuck with standard Regex due.
Perhaps there is a happy middle ground. Certainly when I'm doing basic matching I definitely prefer functions like endsWith, contains and startsWith compared to the equivalent regex.
