I'm a very happy Grafana user. The move to a server based app worried me at first, but it's been humming along nicely the entire time. It's a shame that graphite is still so hard to install/configure (at least from rhel 6 and lower - things might be better on other distros/versions) though. If you're looking to start making some money as a business, I'd be spending a bit of time making sure the data sources are as easy to stand up as possible.

Congratulations on the new release and, really, fantastic work!

FWIW I've switched from Graphite to InfluxDB as a drop-in replacement (ie, influxdb natively accepts graphite-formatted data, I'm ignoring all the extra nice influx features), and I've found that they're both really easy to set up and keep running together :)
I've been using hostedgraphite.com for some time. YMWV.
