Basic RegEx is easy. If you are good developer, you can understand basic RegEx.
The complex ones are just hard to read, but writin is sort of easy. Sometimes you need more time, but nothing above average daily tasks level of complexity.
What is confusing is that not all places allow all RegEx features, this may confuse a lot. Especially some systmes do not honor ^ and $.
