I keep saying this to my friends: I dream of the day when people exchange SQLite files instead of XLS(X), and Excel, and the like, are just an interface to that

I keep saying this to my friends: I dream of the day when people exchange SQLite files instead of XLS(X), and Excel, and the like, are just an interface to that database. This way you get data integrity (Excel randomly truncating digits or converting numbers to scientific notation is the bane of my existence), data present in raw form, and being interface/view layer agnostic.
