    I never use tab delimiters but thinking about it, it is much less common to encounter a tab character in a CSV field than a comma…

      Tabs are also usually not allowed in many fields. The thing is, tab delimiters are fine, but the data sets often get stored without file extensions. Let me tell ya, I was the only person on staff to even know what a file extension was, let alone how to load it into software that can process tab delimiters!
