D3 can be used for a lot of things that are not considered traditional visualization. For example, this diagram [1] is built using D3. The beauty of D3 is that changes to the diagram can be make incrementally so you can have multiple users editing the same diagram in different browsers and have their changes seamlessly (mostly) merged. I also used D3 to create this [2] Gantt chart for the same reasons (though I later rewrote it in React.js, but that is a different story). If you want to write D3 code bost.ocks.org is an incredible resource. It has a broader set of example code than any other library I have seen, bar none.
