reformat in vim for a nice column layout

by

If you’re on some kind of UNIX (Linux, etc), you can cheat and filter it through the column(1) command.

:%!column -t

The above will parse on delimiters inside string literals which is wrong, so you will likely need pre-processing steps and specifying the delimiter for this file for example:

%!sed 's/","/\&/' | column -t -s '&'
