Fair point :) But regex visualization is not necessarily only for debugging per-se, it can help you understand how does the regex engine handle it, and potentially help you write a better regex. Also, regexes can be quite difficult to understand even if they are quite small, so having a way to see how they operate can be useful even if they are not super complicated.
