to add up on the other replies: sigma.js is plug-and-play, very easy to draw a force-directed graph with nice built-in features. d3.js requires more work to get to the same result.

Advantage of d3.js is that it is easier to customize the display you want.

other difference: sigma.js implements "force atlas 2 " algorithm - like the one found in Gephi, which may be more suitable for some graphs (when you want to highlight community structures)
