I’d argue that for as long as Excel doesn’t support Parquet files, we haven’t seen the last of CSVs for a long time.

Parquet is great, but it’s simply nowhere near as ubiquitous as CSV.

I hadn't even heard of Parquet until now, and I'm sure this goes for lots of developers who don't do much data engineering.

It's easy to forget just how much analytic "stuff" Excel still powers.
