Oh, that part's obvious.  People don't learn things in a vacuum.  They 
read about something, try it, fail, and ask for help.  If, in one 
community, the response they get is, "I see what's wrong with your 
regex, you need to ...", and in another they get, "You shouldn't be 
using a regex there, you should use this string method instead...", it 
should not be a surprise that it's easier to learn about regexes in the 
first community.
