Why use Superintendent.app?

Comparison
Superintendent.app
Excellent for working with CSVs
Easy installation Easy to use Supports large files
Installed with a single click, the UI-based app is purposefully built for your productivity. You can build your reports within seconds. In addition, it supports large CSV files e.g. importing 1GB file in 10 seconds.
Spreadsheet apps
Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets
Easy installation Easy to use Supports large files
Spreadsheets like Excel and Google Sheets are clunky with SQL and don't support CSVs larger than 1 million rows.
Database tools
DBeaver and MySQL Workbench
Easy installation Easy to use Supports large files
This alternative requires a database setup and often offers a myriad of unnecessary functionalities (e.g. configuring database) that get in the way for users who work with CSVs.
Command-line tools
csvkit and q
Easy installation Easy to use Supports large files
This alternative often requires Python setup. Managing multiple CSVs and SQLs in a terminal is clunky. While the tools don't impose a restriction on the file size, they are not performant when handling large files.
Databases
SQLite and DuckDB
Easy installation Easy to use Supports large files
Managing multiple CSVs and SQLs directly in a database's terminal is extremely clunky, even more clunky than using a command-line tool.
