Not sure about ffmpeg, but you should definitely try memorising regexp. Casual Search&replace that becomes possible is worth it.

in 15 years it never sticks and by the time i need it again i've forgotten it! :D
Don't learn the Perl influenced extensions. You just need POSIX EREs (and BREs for some older utilities) which are simple enough to keep in the head.
And with the POSIX EREs, everything except the syntax for character classes will carry over to other common Regex dialects.
