Excel will just silently modify everything and "save" it back as a CSV. I would rather that both Excel and Numbers only saved to CSV as an Export option.

Neither one is good, but at least Excel warns me formatting will be lost.

I wish they'd warn you on first operation that CSV can't handle, and ask.
