The speed and responsiveness of Canvas for complex visualisation (ones where there are a lot of objects) means it's often the better choice. However, libraries like d3 make working with SVG a lot easier.

I'm interested, why does SVG seem to de the default choice for web graphics? And is there something like d3 that makes working with Canvas more accessible?
