Does anyone else who doesn't work with regular expressions on a regular basis feel like a champ whenever they write one successfully? (self.programming)

↓ I'm a web developer and I rarely use regular expressions. But when the need to use one does arise,
and I write one that does what I expect without having to consult anything, I feel like I just
discovered general relativity. Anyone else feel a great sense of triumph over the natural,
unordered chaos of text?
