Are there any good alternatives that support writing regexps in different flavours and allow to test them?

The excellent and free Rad Software Regular Expression Designer doesn't appear in the list above but it's certainly worth a look at.

Support for different "flavours" is limited but as far as writing and testing actual regular expressions is concerned it's good and the in-built help is very useful too.

You can always use that http://eclim.sourceforge.net/vim/java/regex.html if you are used to vim.

Expresso is way up there on my list.
