plotrock VS visidata

I'd like to call out one of my favorite pieces of software from the past 10 years: VisiData [1] has completely changed the way I do ad-hoc data processing, and is now my go-to for pretty much all use cases that I previously used spreadsheets for, and about half of those I previously used databases for.

It's a TUI application, not strictly CLI, but scriptable, and I figure anyone building pipelines using tools like jq, q, awk, grep, etc. to process tabular data will find it extremely useful.

Visidata - https://visidata.org

You can try Visidata

VisiData is an awesome terminal spreadsheet tool. edbrowse for internet browsing.

Have you ever tried out visidata? It's not vim, but it's a terminal app with vim-like keybindings for visualizing tabular data (and it can convert from other types like json). Not quite a neovim buffer, but you could always open visidata in a new terminal buffer.

If you are a command-line user, try visidata[0]
