I agree on both your main points. It's not like PB has a bunch of cruft and fat to trim. The BD of the project is very aggressive in constraining scope, which is one of the reasons it's so good. The CSV-thing feels like an academic exercise. The fact I can't open an SQLite database in my text editor is a little thin, considering many tools are lighter weight than text editors, and "reading" a database (any format) is seldom the goal. You probably want to query it so the first thing you need to do here is import the CSV into DuckDB and write a bunch of queries with "WHERE active=1"
