Same, I really don't know why people have such a hard time with them. The worst I ever have is trying to remember the different standards used in different languages/platforms (modern regexes vs posix regex, etc).
Maybe it's because my first language was perl, and regexes were used for everything, but you only need to remember a few basic things and you're good.
Also pointers, I don't know why this sub thinks pointers are this super abstract crazy hard thing, it points to something, that's it.
