I was clueless about using regular expressions so I asked the developer for help. As it turned out, my workflow needed more than a few regular expressions. The developer spent a great deal of time over the course of more than a week helping me create a custom solution that integrated both the cleaners in TextSoap and Automator actions. What took me hours before now takes me a few seconds with the custom cleaners. I wish I knew about TextSoap before I wasted time and money trying other software.

I use it as a service everyday in many other softs, my customized cleaners are just at the tip of my mouse cursor. If you edit and clean text manually and repeatedly, you definitely need this soft.

I like RegExRX as a side app when using TextSoap it helps you develop patterns quicker. TextSoap could do with a regex editor like that built into it for advanced users as although it uses regex well it is hard to develop patterns in it as there is no regex editor in there.

I'm not quite sure why someone running 10.6.5 would not be using 10.6.6 (required for any Mac App Store stuff). As a general rule, using the latest update within a version is recommended in both OS and the product.

Of course, there'll be those who will call me a software pirate for that (they'd be wrong) or paranoid (happened in some other app thread), but I feel I should have a choice.
And sure, I don't know just yet how I'll deal with this for future OS releases such as Lion, but all that is beside the point of my original comment.
What changed in OS10.6.6 that you cannot support your software to run on older systems? Other developers support OS10.6.5 and below at the same time and with the same release of their software that will run on OS10.6.6 and above.

If other developers did not need this new functionality, then 10.6-10.6.5 would be a sufficient requirement for them. That wasn't the case for me.
I also think it is reasonable to require customers using Mac OS X Snow Leopard to be on the newest update of that OS. I don't think that 10.6.6 is a major requirement for anyone that is already using Snow Leopard.
While I do not understand your issues with 10.6.6 and Mac App Store, it is your choice to make.
