CSV is honestly one of my preferred ways of stacking up data. It’s so easily transferable between languages and systems. It’s always human readable too! There are older tools that I work with that spit out “fixed-width” formats, but then go and fuck it up by not aligning the headers to the columns making parsing is a pain in the ass. CSV would be so much better.
Probably at some point in the past yes. Now they’ve been combined with Singer and a few other brands under these guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVP_Worldwide?wprov=sfla1 who in turn are owned by an equity group so expect the enshitification to really ramp up.
