I really dislike these simple charting libraries, because I always have some kind of issue that just wastes my time in the end. For example with plottable, there is a hover event function that is extremely expensive that will trigger for every pixel movement with your mouse. With just a few hundred datapoints every chart we rendered ran horribly slow.
With D3.js you have instead full flexibility and the only performance issue is that SVG's are slower than canvas, and that is mostly a problem when you have tens of thousand data points.
