I've just finished up a project using NVD3, and at first glance this looks like a slightly simpler option. This is a good thing - NVD3 has become complex to the point where I would recommend someone to just learn D3 rather than use a reusable library.

Epoch appears to be a good alternative for people who just want to quickly build charts for today's web. Great work.

I think the authors of NVD3 have recognized the complexities as well and have planned a rewrite [1] this year.

Thanks so much, that was one of the key design decisions. We needed something that gave us the expressive power of d3 for basic charts without going overboard.
