>D3.js is quite low-level library, it's basically a wrapper around SVG with some sugar like animations and enter/exit/update.

While D3 is low level, it's in no way just a "wrapper around SVG with some sugar thrown in".

Besides the tons and tons of helpers for scales, mapping, projections, calculations and all that jazz (including the animation stuff with enter/exit etc which you did mention), it's also a whole functional concept on top of the drawing primitives.

One could theoretically even remove SVG and add another rendering backend with D3 with the same top level primitives.

I use D3 for all kinds of non SVG DOM work.

I am interested on that, do you have some snippets or examples of it?
