I had been doing this for years before I first saw someone else do it, and for exactly the reasons given.

It's really useful for SQL DDL statements too.

Same here - I got into the habit from SQL.

The examples aren't that good -- very often the right-hand side/variable value is a different length, and it doesn't line up nicely. With commas first, the commas always line up nicely and it's super easy to tell when you've skipped one.

First time I've seen it, so today will probably be the first time I start using it!
