Could you explain what made you prefer visidata over SCIM?

fast loading of massive datasets and built-in support for SQLite tables. i also found the interaction to be more intuitive, which is important for a tool i pick up sporadically.
That's really neat, I've been looking exactly for a spreadsheet TUI to browse and edit SQLite dbs. Cheers!
for one i work with GB large files and vd instantly opens them. SCIM it took a lot of painful seconds to open 14mb file
Probably some of the functionality showed off here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1CBDTgGtOU , besides the handling of large amounts of data.
