more importantly, why?
China, India, Africa, Indonesia, Russia (regional government offices), for this and for many other countries IE6-8 is common case. It's just a fact.
It's a fact that can change.

#12Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I don't see Free/Open-Source anywhere on the website. It seems paid, proprietary everywhere.

#13Looking at the source for the examples, I really can't see how that's practical to write. It may be fast but damn is that code gnarly.

#16The speed and responsiveness of Canvas for complex visualisation (ones where there are a lot of objects) means it's often the better choice. However, libraries like d3 make working with SVG a lot easier. I'm interested, why does SVG seem to de the default choice for web graphics? And is there something like d3 that makes working with Canvas more accessible?
p5.js (https://p5js.org/) meets the mark of "canvas but more accessible" for me quite often. A different agenda than d3 tho

People pick SVG because it looks sharp, has certain features that make development easier, and because they are hack developers who do not understand how performance graphics work.
