Plottable.js – Flexible, interactive charts for the web

Seriously... I was just reading the examples and thinking to myself "why would I use this over vanilla D3"? The syntax isn't more concise and offers less control, and introduces a whole new api to learn. To me this is like writing a DOM manipulation framework on top of jQuery...

I had a similar thought. With examples that still need so much code I'd rather just learn D3 and get much more re-usable knowledge

I'm not great at web stuff. I usually just do numerical work. For people like me, there's a ton of overhead knowledge to effectively using D3.
