I dunno in what bubble ebnf is worse than regex. Its more general (especially as a notation), easier to parse both for humans and computers, about as easy to codegen and is used all over the place in programming language design. The only advantage regex has is brevity and being able to fit it in a one liner for quick filtered search.
