To use this you basically have learn regexps anyway, so I can't really see the point.

well I guess the point would be:

1. if you know regex but for a particular language, this takes care of having to learn the different variants of regex because it will compile down to the version you want.

2. it is a more approachable syntax, so easier to learn.

3. because it is still a regex syntax given that you probably know a bit of regex already you can get better at it by learning this.

any others I forgot?

Just like sql abstractions. A dead end, useless, unnecessary.
