For me, the problem with D3 is how low level it is. It gives you the underlying structure and calculations to do visualization, and that means you can do incredible things with it, but it's a long process. I felt like I was building things from first principles.

I've always thought about D3 as 'jQuery for SVG'.

There are solutions like NVD3,c3js, rickshaw that are higher level than d3js.
