I am using metrichgraphics[1], it's based on D3.js I was looking at charts.js but it didn't had enough options.

I think https://plot.ly/ might have the right idea which is (as I see it), do your analysis in python, R, Julia, Mathematica etc., plot using the tool you're familiar with, when you're done, capture it in plotly, which also serves as sort of an Imgur for charts.

that being said, YMMV, horses for courses, there'a a LOT of different ways to chart and different tastes, but that's my take.

I haven't used this but found this chart lib based on D3.js called C3.js. http://c3js.org/

I've used C3.js for some stacked bar charts.

I like it. It took a little poking at to get what I wanted (stacked bar charts with some initially unselected), but I got it and its been working well. I came from a highcharts shop, and the setup there was different enough.

https://wakatime.com uses C3.js on the main dashboard for it's flexibility and ease-of-use. The mobile support in Chart.js 2.0 might make us take a second look at it.

I used that as well for the same reason. While it does have a lot more options, it turns out to be really hard to customize the graphs beyond that.

Another D3-based, open source library is Contour: http://forio.com/contour/

Easy to implement basic charts like line, bar, pie, scatter, etc. and extensible with D3.

Thank you. This looks the library I have been hunting for.

I've been using google charts for the past few months - I've found it extremely flexible and robust
