Semiotic goes WAY beyond simple charting. It has a wide variety of visualization frameworks which serve as bases for highly customizable graphics. I will agree that there are things one can do in d3 alone that are not supported directly by Semiotic, but I would also argue that once one plays with it a bit, Semiotic can produce the vast majority of complicated and highly customized visualizations. And I don't need to worry about DOM battles.
- tracyhenry 6y agoI agree that Semiotic serves probably 80% of data vis use cases in real world. But at the end of the day it is a high-level template-based library that's less expressive than D3. If you take a random vis from observable's "trending notebooks", chances are that it is not reproducible with Semiotic. Those two libraries are really for different purposes.
- tunesmith 6y agoI wish there were more (free) options for interactive Sugiyama-type graphs. So far I only know of dagre and cytoscape.
