My biggest complaint is with the little variations in dialects. Especially how the dialect * context expects you to handle quoting or terminating the expression. It's so varied that I've given up on even trying to remember and just resign myself to googling an example every time I need one.

Oniguruma is one of examples where you can actually pick which variation to use. I think Rust `regex` also exposes enough internals to make this possible.
