I rarely want to see tabular data in a human-readable format. It is always the most tedious way to approach it. My go-to is Excel/LibreOffice Calc. This approach is at least tolerable to edit in a text editor, while something like the OpenDocument Spreadsheet format or the Excel format is impenetrable.
- prepend 4y agoI rarely do it, but it’s nice to be able to Human read when I need to. Also being able to use all the command line text tools is super convenient. I think it’s a think where having the option for the .1% of times when you need it keeps me using it.

Sometimes it helps a lot to eyeball what you have before doing one off scripts to filter/massage your data. Had a recent case where the path of least resistance was database to csv to one off python to statistic tools with a gui and tabular display. Could have probably done some enterprise looking export infrastructure but it was a one off and not worth it.
