Is there a way to align values in a let when editing, ie. to go from
(let ((x 1)
(foo 2)
(zz 3))
to
(let ((x 1)
(foo 2)
(zz 3))
I made myself a bit of code to do it, but I'd be surprised if nobody
else has done something like this before. align.el doesn't seem to
suit.

The align.el package (see C-h f align RET) is meant to do those kinds of
things, tho it doesn't seem to have an alignment rule for the above case.
You can also try C-h f align-regexp.

pretty-column.el has function pretty-rectangle, which will work for the
example you've given--in a fashion. I tried it out and got the
following:

If I choose the rectangle slightly differently, I get this:
> (let ((x 1)
> (foo 2 )
> (zz 3) )
