I work with csv files a lot. I have a short awk script which truncates/pads each column to a fixed width which I can specify at runtime. It also repeats the top column (headers) every 20 rows in a different ANSI color. I pipe the output to less -SR for interactive use so I can scan delimited data in a scrollable grid, with all columns aligned and labeled. I understand there's vim plugins for this, but, ehh.

There's also the likes of console-flat-table-viewer . One would have to convert the comma-separated stuff into one of the table types, but that's what Miller is for.
