As yes, I am being mostly serious - though I have been pondering seeing what tools can do as opposed to the manual formatting I've been performing.  Even a basic linter would be helpful...

The big problem is you need to define what it means to be beautiful.  Understandable is a totally different area and that is more where views and functions come in so you can provide names to the various constructs you are using.  CTE/WITH facilitate this as well.

Are you looking for SQL editor?

If that’s the case, take a look at contexteditor.org

​format => alter; all I see in the linked editor is highlighting.​..

Not only, there is little of formatting, like TABs.

But, even highlighting helps.



​Since pgAdminIII does highlighting I figured the OP wanted something more...I know what I am looking is more than just highlighting.

Use IntelliJ IDEA community-edition, which is free: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/
 
It is a JAVA-IDE, but the support for PostgreSQL is excellent. It comes with syntax-highligting, code-completion, DB-browser etc.
