I'll be that person :P ... I love regexes. Tools like grep, sed, awk become power-tools when using regexes allowing you to slice and dice log files easily. They do have a learning curve, but once you have learned them, they are the most reliable tool, having a decent library in most programming language. I think regexes are a great example of abstract computer science (finite state automata) concepts being useful in practice.
