Uh, my experience is that the opened CSV file will get all converted - dates formats changed, trailing zeroes trimmed, umlauts broken, you name it. So "better" means at maximum "less shitty".
Problem with importing is that laypeople are not familiar with PowerQuery and it can be overwhelming for lot of users.
It didn't make it less shitty. The problem is on the between the keyboard and the chair. If users take the time to be familiar with the wizard and PowerQuery, a lot of miscorrection would be avoid in the first place.
Also I believe excel for mac either doesn't have this feature or it's not as feature rich as the windows counterpart.
