I wondered if I was the only one who thought that way — apparently not. I also found D3 to be very inflexible, with abstractions doing strange things behind your back. In general, a lot of "magic" was happening behind the scenes.

I mostly write in ClojureScript, so the data binding wasn't that attractive — I can do all of that work better anyway.

I guess what I'm looking for is a library with graphics/charting primitives written in ClojureScript, possibly using React. Hmm.

The next version of D3 will be modular, with the different parts broken out into separate packages (i.e. shape utils separate from databinding utils). Currently I'm using D3 piecemeal with React with a good deal of success.
