Then again, if you learn one well it's not too difficult to learn another one as well. And once you've worked with a couple different libraries, you start to understand the different data models and it's even easier to adapt to the next library.

Also, for many of the visualizations I've worked with I'm fine to use an older library that's reached a stable point of development. It feels like the whole conversation about whether to build your new project on the latest web framework, or use something old and established like Django or Rails. Boring, relatively stable software in any area is a pleasure to work with if you really want to focus on your real-world problem more than you want to focus on newer tech.
