Don't underestimate the ability to see right away CSV contents using Excel/Numbers/Google Spreadsheets. Non-coders technical users

  I'm a coder and I still find the ability to eyeball a file useful, also csv can be munged about with the shell easily (cut, grep, sed etc) which can be surprisingly useful.

    csv can also be queried by tools like q[1] if sed, grep, etc. are not quite up to the task. I find this very useful to quickly summarize, filter, reorder/rename columns etc. in csv files. [1] https://harelba.github.io/q/ https://harelba.github.io/q/
