Why use CSV and delimited formats?

With the emergence of XML, many have chosen to avoid CSV and delimited formats. They consider them legacy formats. There are numerous cases where software has abandoned them in favor or XML. It is viewed as an option for reading and saving data. The question becomes, "With XML now available, are other formats necessary?"

The largest software providers (Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle) continue to support CSV and text delimited formats. With support from such industry heavyweights, the question of their relevance may be moot. In addition, many legacy systems depend on CSV and delimited formats so much, they have become a de-facto industry standard.
