I admit, when I first became really fluent in RegExp, I tended to overuse them for some time. Even now, I have the impulse to solve string-based issues with RegExp, but I have learned to stop and think about if they really are an improvement over other solutions. So you could say I seek to use it and try to avoid it at the same time, mostly because I understand it.
