As a longtime vim user, I don't see how vim makes going to the Nth logical column (for several values of N in different rows) in a large "CSV-like" file much easier.
Navigating in general is easier, sure, but... do you have a trick to share perhaps?

1. Go down to line 582. Jump to the 63rd comma
3. Edit
Though I'm usually in the position where I create this kind of file myself and so I just go with semicolons as column separators. Those are much less likely to cause such collisions.
I had never seen/used `f` to navigate within a line like this -- I'm usually just typing /<string> and hitting enter to scan forward.

Takes you to cell at 58:63 (might have off-by-1 errors, don't know)
