Anybody know a good TUI spreadsheet app that can import and export csv, or even just a TUI csv editor? I have been unable to find one.

About 5 or 6 years ago I interviewed a girl who had been working on that tech, and it stunned me that the suspicions folks like me had were being verified by a software engineer that had worked on the feature.
