I always rely on Highcharts, probably the biggest library presented here. Fit all the case (except map maybe) and flexible enough to let you change everything if you or your designer want something very specific !
Highcharts is beautiful but it's quite expensive for a startup in my country (VN). While the budget for a nascent webapp is around $1000. I choose Flot as the replacement. It's flexible and nice enough with responsive layout, compound charts, clearly script.
The only downside I dislike about flot is that it depends on JQuery. As I otherwise don't rely on JQuery at all, it means another ~80kb of additional JS code. Beside that, flot seem to be a very good free alternative.
This should really include http://ecomfe.github.io/echarts/index-en.html

Baidu huh. Those plots looks really slick. IE6+ support is quite the accomplishment.
I agree with you. But why do you think IE6+ support is an accomplishment? Both FusionCharts and HighCharts also support IE 6+
I find it wildly perplexing that there are so many frameworks and libraries for javascript graphics and data visualization. Wikipedia has a comparison matrix of 37 different libraries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_JavaScript_charti... Here is a list describing briefly at least 50 libraries: http://techslides.com/50-javascript-charting-and-graphics-li...

I used flot too, as a replacement for Highcharts. The only downside I dislike about flot is that it depends on JQuery. As I otherwise don't rely on JQuery at all, it means another ~80kb of additional JS code. Beside that, flot seem to be a very good free alternative.
What are the advantages of SVG or Canvas in that use case? Which one (SVG, Canvas) is principle faster on current browser with thousands of data points?

I started out with flot after noticing the high cost of Highcharts. But now have been switching out flot with dimple.js and d3.js. The charts are much better with dimple/d3.
