You mean like "AquaGrep"? ("only $9.95")

Uh ... no. What use is a GUI front-end that simply turns the complex
parameters into edit fields and prints the text that would go to the
terminal window? Not to mention that I consider it rather bold to ask
$9.95 for something like that.
I'd at least have expected it to build a double-clickable list of
the search results that allows opening the found file in a text
editor, and some canned regexps or at the very least a reference
field where one can read what characters are used for what in a
regexp.
Heck, this doesn't even have "starts with" and "ends with".
and in general, a piece of software that "provide[s] a friendly OS X
user interface to any UNIX command":

This actually looks interesting. Even though the GUI is
representative of those crammed, half-baked GUIs that gave Carbon
such a bad name among some parts of the Mac community. But with a few
corrections in size and spacing, that could be fixed.
