I've often wondered what would happen if there was a standard text editor plugin for dealing with parquet and co. It seems like these formats are disliked, as they are difficult to inspect - but there really isn't any reason UTF-8 bytes arranged in a large sequence (aka CSV) should be any easier to read except for editor support. Sure writes would be slower, but I'd expect most users wouldn't care on modern hardware.
