  Do you have any tabular data editors to recommend?

    I’d start by putting the data in JSON because TSV/CSV is brittle and old.

    There are many tools for tabular JSON.

  I was going to complain that clearly “spreadsheet” derives from paper-based tabular data editors. But apparently that term was only used consistently after 1906, while digital spreadsheets that aided calculation were conceived of in 1961. Meaning that it has meant a digital calculation aid for longer (65 years) than it only meant a tabular data editor (55 years).
