TSV is a very efficient for Javascript/Perl/Python to process, without losing any typing information, and also easy for humans to read.

The format has been supported in 4store since its public release, and it's reasonably widely used.

The way I look at it is: CSV is for loading into spreadsheets, TSV is for processing by bespoke software.

You can see here the technical specification of each here.
