RegEx's
Here's a very good point about using regex's for those who basically can't imagine using them! I love using regexes and am constantly amazed by how misunderstood they tend to be. Yes, regexes won't clean your kitchen, but they're darn good for some quick (though somewhat dirty) data mining tasks. Their power lies in the programmer's creativity.
