Although I favor command line tools for most of my work (if only,
because it can work remotely, through a slow phone connection, across
the world); I like The Regex Coach (GUI tool) because it highlights
the various strings and substrings matched.

Also I like it because the regex (as far as I have used it) have the
exact syntax of Perl, so it is just a matter of cut & paste: usefull
to find a mistake in a long and intricated regex.

Bests,

Olivier
