This Windows user associates CSV files with Nirsoft's CSVFileView. Spreadsheet programs like Excel, Calc, 123 and Quattro are massive overkill for something like a list of misspelt words in a novel.

In defence of Microsoft: Excel is used by millions. It is used by large corporates (banks, pension fund managers etc) in their Line of Business processes, and in Mission Critical (life and death) applications - e.g. Fire & Rescue resource scheduling. Removing a defect in Excel may have material consequences.

It's even [mis]used by storied Harvard economists ==>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_in_a_Time_of_Debt
