Over the last 20 years I have converted data into my applications from other applications and exported them to other applications or corporate applications. I think every application I've done includes some sort of data transfer. I use SDF the most and CSV is my second choice. My opinion of XML is that some people use XML for the sake of using XML. It does have its merits when working with free formed data - Google Maps is a perfect example. But for transferring data between applications it adds too much complexity for me.
