This is a WIP (hence why there are drafts and todos). This is being done by the folks at http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide which is definitely a valuable resource if you're trying to learn Bash and its idiosyncrasies.
* it works with IDEAVim
* it uses JDBC so you can easily connect to "non-standard" DBs by using any JDBC driver
* it's better than psql/vsql/... for dealing with complex queries (you have a real editor rather than limited readline support, if you're lucky enough to have readline support)
I agree that for trivial regex it's useless. For instance (directly taken from Python doc) in this case:
a = re.compile(r"""\d + # the integral part
\. # the decimal point
\d * # some fractional digits""", re.X)
b = re.compile(r"\d+\.\d*")
that's useless. But for more complex problems it may be useful (e.g. http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/re/ I know email matching regexes are not really complex or even a good example of use of regexes but that's the first example I found).
Another point is that even if I can read/write (that's the case) regexes other people may have to deal with my code and it's a well known fact that many people doesn't understand/like regex, so splitting them in small "chunks" may help them.
It worth to be noted that the verbose flag (re.X or re.VERBOSE in Python) may help to get more readable/friendly regexes (by allowing whitespace and comments).
I think you misunderstood the phrase (which has been removed since?).
I signed up (my web history has been disabled for months) and I only have data about my OSes/emails/locations, nothing about search "Web History No activity found."
I'm not sure we really need all those bars. I mean I use this http://i.imgur.com/0U1yW.png everyday and it's perfectly fine/usable (ok we may need to add an url/toolbar for most people, but at least it merge the tab bar and the title bar).
Edit: It also merges the file/tools/help bar in the left button.
