I am, and I can think of many cases where plain dumb string matching since you know what you're dealing with beats regex in both performance and maintainability.
You're a clown that wouldn't know how to compare two strings without regex even if you got paid 6 figures to do it.
Perfect pair of words for every solution that involves a regex.
Regextard doesn't even know how to use case insensitive matching, incredible.
