At a former job, our embedded device logs decoded to csv. Some of them were too large for Excel.

Pandas handled them without a burp. Pandas in Jupyter (Ipython Notebook) was a godsend.

There's a minimal amount of variable setup, but once you've done that once or twice it's easy.

Of course, any analysis or manipulation takes a bit of python code, but I see that as a feature, not the least because you can read it right there in the open instead of having to hunt for formulas in cells.

Same here. I load the data using pandas or parsing the rows by hand in go. It's interesting to watch your RAM getting filled up while the data is loaded.

Looks like this tool is for non-programmers, it's interesting to see that there seems to be a market here.
