CSV is equivalent to Voyager I, the chances of catching up with that kind of head start are extremely low.

At the point someone is using a different format, they’ll likely pick something explicitly structured. Like everything from JSON, to Yaml, to Protobufs, or hell even XML.
DSV seems like worst of both worlds. Not really structured, AND also not really viewable/editable by lowest common denominator tooling.
There is still room between a text editor and a full-blown spreadsheet program. New DSV editors could emerge when the DSV format gains popularity.
