My boss at my last company used to say "I am morally opposed to CSV".
We did a lot of stuff with data in Google Sheets, and when we exported a sheet to disk so we could parse it in code, he would insist on using TSV instead of CSV.
The main reason he insisted on this was because you don't really have to worry about escapes and quoting with tab separators. And we were an NLP company, so the data would very often include complete sentences with commas.
