Before adopting nivo and Cloudinary, we initially used Apache E-charts (specifically a React wrapper called echarts-for-react) to handle image processing and loading. This approach proved extremely slow, and it was quite the process in figuring out a better solution while we had a real-time constraint.

Although I haven't used Semiotic but Echarts [1] for the last 4 years, I agree with the sentiment. D3 is regularly on top of HN and I always wonder if its popularity is due to people not knowing there are easier alternatives or it's because they really need a library as low-level as D3 for plotting their data.
