> You give up human readable files, but what you gain in return is incredibly valuable
Not as valuable as human-readable files.
And what kind of monstrous CSV files has this dude been working with? Data types? Compression? I just need to export 10,000 names/emails/whatevers so I can re-import them elsewhere.
Like, I guess once you start hitting GBs, an argument can be made, but this article sounds more like "CSV considered harmful", which is just silly to me.
