Yes, for embedding a chart and getting some basic active functionality Plotly is very easy. The part that requires some custom Plotly coding is when you want to script the chart ... have HTML buttons, sliders, to filter, recompute, revisualize the data. It's beautiful that it even works, and you can programmatically update the JSON of an embedded chart. But it would be nice if you could give Plotly a dataset, plot the data, and say, give me a button to filter rows using these criteria for this column (or run some other code on the data) and re-render the chart. Right now you have to code that manually and update the JSON model. Visualization used to mean charts that were animated and/or would dynamically update but now it means any old chart LOL.
