I am happy when I see I can get data via CSV over the other delivery methods people use. My local school board prints out all their data and then scans them into a PDF, ugh. I had one vendor that on purpose made the data only available in forms that would take me 600+ lines of code to clean up in mangled ASCII format. I use CSV all the time when I am working with R. My data can come in the form of CSV, XLS, or PDF. Which would you want to work with? I can easily look at the data. I never touch my incoming data and my output is in reports, but CSV can be the easiest way to get data into a computer.
