Tab-delimited TMs are fun. They are easy to read and edit. They are smaller than TMX files. CafeTran Espresso can create tab-delimited TMs (Memory > Save as > Add the extension ".txt" to the filename). It can import them (Memory > Import > Import tab-delimited memory ...).

How nice would it be if tab-delimited TMs could be used as a full replacement for TMX memories? This would open endless possibilities, like processing huge TMs (without using Total Recall) and using of all kinds of tools to read and edit the files (like Keyboard Maestro, AutoHotkey and Modern CSV).

As a proof of concept I exported a TMX file into a tab-delimited glossary. To make this work, I had to remove punctuation marks from the first column.

Let's hope that tab-delimited TMs will be supported sometime in the future.
