I've built a lot of charts/visualization with React + D3. I normally use D3 only for the math as rendering with React is much faster, easier to reason about and allows for features like server side rendering. Animations/transitions are not a solved problem with React, which is why it's probably far easier to create an animated chart with D3 exclusively, as the render loop of D3 with its enter/update/exit is really powerful.

Nowadays I’m building a lot of visualisations with a Vue.js SVG template and d3 for its helper functions like scale, axis, path, colormaps etc. It’s really powerful and declarative and no need for enter/update/exit as everything is kept in sync by Vue data bindings. However the enter/update/exit pattern stays indeed better for animations.
