Are there any commercial offerings that do some of the grunt work for you, like colors and resizing of page, zoom on maps, click to see just one chart, etc?
I'd pay for that.

Yes. Tableau, QlikView, and SpotFire all provide this functionality.

No. I meant a commercial version that uses D3.js and is editable by users. I don't want a black box, but i also don't want to spend much time fixing quirks.
For example long text is a problem with charts and svg (in my experience). I'd like to pay for a version that fixes these things.

Highcharts might be up your alley. Highcharts.com
It's not D3-based, but it's one of the most popular JS charting libraries out there because it's has a well documented API and it's very customizable. We've had a lot of success with it producing visualizations at DataHero.com
D3 is like a paintbrush -- you can make anything with it if you're DaVinci, but it's a very low-level tool so you need to be a master if you want to make anything that's not my drippy kindergarten giraffe drawing.
