The main difference is that pcre uses the same regular expression
syntax as perl and python.  I consider this an advantage as I've
been using this syntax for the better part of 20 years, and don't
have to remember how other systems handle REs (which is a major
part of my reason for starting to use perl in the late '80s).

Good luck to all you optimists out there who think Microsoft can deliver
35 million lines of quality code on which you can operate your business.
