Although I favor command line tools for most of my work (if only, because it can work remotely, through a slow phone connection, across the world); I like The Regex Coach (GUI tool) because it highlights the various strings and substrings matched. Also I like it because the regex (as far as I have used it) have the exact syntax of Perl, so it is just a matter of cut & paste: usefull to find a mistake in a long and intricated regex.
