As for GUI-based CSV editor projects, I may highly recommend you also take a look mtCellEdit (C++/Qt[0]) and Tabulator (C++/Qt[1] & Python/Qt[2]) apps.
Both projects are cross-platform & FLOSS (free and open-source software), so available for Linux, macOS, Windows, etc.
FTR, mtCellEdit has a lot of functions especially useful for spreadsheet/CSV data analyzing.[3,4]

- robochat 6y agoI will try all of them. Previously, I've tried Tad [1] which is good but I'd like something lighter and faster (ie. not electron based) and also visidata [2] which is terminal based but sometimes I just want to see my data in a gui.

- robochat 6y agoAm I right that tabulator-qt and tabulator-qtpy are still under development since they don't seem to load csv files yet? But they certainly look like the type of specialised viewer that I have been looking for.
