If you're looking for a good high-level abstraction, I really recommend the open source Plotly.js library:

(similar to HighCharts, but without the commercial license mumbo-jumbo)

Yeah, I see D3 itself as more of a tool tailored towards DataVis geeks developing new visualisation methods.

Tried it recently but it has some flaws, like locking up the browser when viewing ~5k values in a 3d scatter plot when viewed from certain angles.
