This is nice, easy to use. It is however only using an extremely limited subset of d3 capabilities, which makes me wonder what added value is brought by the fact of making this d3 based compared to other "pure" and lightweight chart libraries which have the same functions [1]

My usual go to library: Flot http://www.flotcharts.org/

I find it's usually easier to roll my own solution, because these libraries often don't provide the level of customisation I need (or may need in the future). The cost of moving away from them is also nonzero.

I like flotcharts too. The Canvas2D rendering has some advantages too. Though, I would like to remove the jquery dependency. I tried to use zepto instead of jquery, it worked but zepto's codebase is ugly and it relies on outdated JS features that emit warnings in Firefox.
