I don’t think so - I’ve written parsers using flex/lex yacc/bison, antlr, a bunch of functional combinator libraries and maybe others I’ve forgotten but now would never consider anything except hand-written recursive descent with an embedded Pratt parser for expressions and precedence.

Simple to write, debug, recover from errors, provide decent error messages, unit test, integrate into build systems, IDEs etc.

I also believe that nearly all the popular compilers these days do something similar - gcc was rewritten a few years ago in this fashion because of the technical benefits I’ve listed above.
