It looks fine to me, I would actually use something like this internally for employees who can't regex. Except the node.js part, but that doesn't make it any less useful, I respect that other people use other tools. The part that I see some may disagree with, is when these apps are posted in public repository indexes (npm). I feel a usefulness filter should be applied. That may be at the heart of the comments. Not that it was posted publicly, but that it was included with a generic name in a public repository (https://npmjs.org/package/replace https://npmjs.org/package/replace), now it has the potential to be annoying to some users. The way these guys disagreed was just, ugh. I write all sorts of cool little networking utilities for my company, but they were not ever intended for an end user, but could be used or adapted by someone else very quickly. My code doesn't leave my company (probably shouldn't, I'd get torn up just like this, I know it). If it did, I would just not want it in a repository.
