>I just Ctrl+H to replace the commas with tabs or \r\n (or whatever)

That may not work if the CSV is escaped/quoted (e.g. because the data contains commas).

Or you could use our Easy Data Transform software. It pretty much handles all that horrible CSV stuff for you. ;0)

Of course, but most of the time I just need to have a quick glance at the data, or find a single value which I know where it should be.

Slightly on-topic: I found what LibreOffice Calc has a decent input wizard which most of the time works and good enough.
