I hit this a couple of years ago and hoped things had improved. d3 was too low-level for my tastes (There are two types of programmers - builders and disassemblers. I'm the latter in that I like to start with something working and figure out how to take it apart). I toyed with Vega, nv3d, Bokeh and they all had great things going for them but nothing felt like it had nailed "making the easy things easy, and the hard things possible".
