I have been both super excited and super disappointed with SVG for about fifteen years now. I too came into it as a dataviz practitioner. Ten years ago I did a project where I generated system status diagrams directly out of SQL Server using XSLT and SVG embedded into the engine. More recently my interest has been resurrected since Power BI uses SVG and D3 for custom visualizations. But the luke-warm browser support has always been discouraging. Same with XSLT. And I guess all things with angle brackets these days.
