Visidata does far more than less-sheet. I see less-sheet closer to macOS's "Preview" than to visidata or excel: a tool to quickly look at the contents of CSV, not to work on it.

Visidata also gives us a quick preview even with large files (e.g 10GB, 2000 columns), but the entire file is loaded in the background, which might be a problem. Less-sheet on the other hand does not hold the data in memory beyond what's needed to fill the window, so the memory usage is similar independent of file size.

It's also a GUI instead of TUI, for people that prefer GUIs, and guesses the CSV parameters (separator, quote char, etc) while offering quick toggles to fix wrong guesses. Beyond that it only offers some column formatting options: hide, change data type and basic formatting.

It's still a modular computer, just not a laptop. It's more like if Tesla made an electric scooter

It really isn't. I've been running fedora with gnome-shell for 3/4 months on hidpi and most things run fine. The applications I had problems were Chrome, it's solvable with 200% zoom, although the UI remains small and Netbeans, here it's more serious because the UI is more important than on Chrome. Another problem is the impossibility of having different scalings on different displays. Everything else that I've needed runs fine and It it's getting better with each gnome-shell release since 3.10. And anyone can try it before buying a display/laptop just by running the scaling command given on the article. In my opinion/case the sharpness of the fonts/icons/ui outweight the small problems that I've had, but using Netbeans and Chrome aren't mandatory to me.
