I understand that regex enables doing a wildcard search in the plug-ins database. What I have trouble imagining is the scenario where regex search in Gimp is necessary or useful. Few users even know how to phrase a regex search. Is this just feature-itis? Do I correctly surmise that regex could be removed without being missed?
