I'm guessing you haven't worked in custom support where people send you their "CSV" files. Even the field delimiter varies (many Europeans use semi-colons).

- queuebert 3y agoNo, I have. I don't consider abuse of the format a problem with the format. Though I can see how having to delimit with special characters will help the type of person who writes print(','.join(stuff)).
- hermitcrab 3y ago>I don't consider abuse of the format a problem with the format. That's a fair point. But you could argue that when the abuse is so widespread, it becomes a defacto part of the format (even if it isn't in the RFC).
