Every few years an article like this pops up. I find it tiring - because they are primarily from a software engineer's viewpoint who is probably trying to write a parser and needs to handle the edge cases. As a data scientist, I receive and process around 75GB of CSV every day - of course I don't process it manually. Our processes have been running a few years now and millions of dollars of revenue rides on it. I don't see any need to retire anything, and am pretty sure our processes will be working and running 10 years from now. The only thing which will change are some statistical models which make use of this data.
