SQLite allows for more efficient querying of data than doing it by hand, can enforce constraints on the data, and I can query it from my shell.
Of course it's not going to replace a commonly-used format for a domain. If no such format exists, it's a perfectly acceptable data format for data that's tabular in nature. And it can by sync'd/backed up the same as any other file.
