You had described trying to view large matrices in TraditionalForm or MatrixForm as "hopeless". I regard looking at large matrices in list form as more problematic and equally well described as "hopeless". It is virtually impossible to determine the column of any entry. The list is not just ugly. It obscures information. Simply put, there is no good way to view entries of any matrix all at once if the matrix has more columns than fit on your screen.
