BASIC wasn't the best language to learn first, but it was quick and easy enough for me to get interested in programming. Because I became interested in programming, I got quite good at BASIC, and saw it's limitations when I tried C.
The point is, I say this is a great website to take away a lot of the mystery of regex. Once people realize that it's simple enough if you take the time to learn it, they will obviously not be returning to this website, save to show their co-workers the ease of creating a regex, and the power of syntax.
