I do regexps all the time. I appreciate the fact that the default setting 
for searches in Emacs (for both plain strings and regexps) is to be case-
insensitive, unless the pattern/string includes a capital letter, in which 
case it becomes case-sensitive.

Kind of a best-of-both-worlds-with-minimal-faffing-about. That usually 
works quite well.
