no one uses csv by choice, they use it because they have to work with tools (excel) that can only produce/consume csv

given you don't have that constraint there are much better options (json lines, avro, parquet, protobufs...)

I use TSV often when I want to easily dump data from a C program to gnuplot or similar. It's more of an ad hoc file format then a serious one though.
