Yak Shaving #0: Visual regexps on steroids.

Being fed up with crazy syntax of RegExes in Emacs, I have found a replacement for it. Or I'd rather say "enhancement". It is called visual-regexp-steroids and looks so cool on screenshots, just check it out.
Exactly what Emacs should've had from the beginning. And guess what? It does not work for whatever reason. Either it is Helm interfering with it or Python is not found as expected (but it is available in the system). I don't know, therefore I'm doomed to guess wildly. Emacs, I hate you. The more I look at you the more you look like a Yak. Wait a minute, isn't it what Stallman meant choosing the Emacs symbol (the wildebeest)?

And I'm shaving, shaving...

P.S.: My emacs configuration.
