I'm not sure which issue you're referring to, but there are many alternatives to Excel, whether you're using Windows, Mac or Linux. It seems unlikely that all of them have the same problem.

For some reason when Excell encounters a series of commas (which is
typical as shown in the example below), it can drop one or more
commas.

I thought the issue was more easily summarised as Excel truncates empty fields at the end-of-line.  I always wondered why the solution wasn't for Chirp to respect EOL as a field (column) reset, as Excel obviously does?

Is that not right or just a gross oversimplification?
