Re:Why CSV is still king by prepend on Friday August 02, 2024 @02:07PM (#41141121)
I don’t like exporting excel because that’s harder to read. I don’t make the data for Excel. I make the data portable.

The fact that it opens in Excel is just convenient. If Excel doesn’t work, I’d use BBEdit or one of a billion other clients that read CSV.

Far fewer clients can open Excel files. Especially 10 or 100 years in the future.
