Used d3 on two different react projects. Charts weren’t the main feature but quite big still. When the dust settled I got a feeling React+SVG had made d3 obsolete - there’s some value in d3 zoom and interaction code, but their intricate system of data sources and auto updating views felt out of time. Maybe it was cutting edge stuff during jquery years, but modern FE frameworks do it better nowadays. Without the need to learn yet another api.

Again, I’m not an expert on d3, just someone who spent ~12-18months maintaining couple visualizations (among other things)
