I still find charting tools that do not allow interaction with the a group of charts to enable further filtering very lacking. The gold standard I evaluate any charting library against is http://dc-js.github.io/dc.js/ My reasoning is that most dashboards should be designed to enable data to tell a story and enable users to interact and create their own story.

As a taucharts developer, I would give you a "best comment" award :) Actually taucharts is moving to this direction. We want to simplify API for dashboards and composite charts to allow users create "visual stories". Stay tuned :)
When developing, the chart bit is usually the easiest bit to implement. Getting the data set into the views you need is where you spend a lot of time.
Good luck with the chart engine!
What I want with such charting solutions is something to export or copy and paste data from excel and put it into a chart. Just that. No need to manually edit a javascript file or html code beyond customising the appearance once the data is in there. Is this available somewhere?
Easy to import the data and allows you to visualize the information with various different chart types.
What makes it better than Vega? I like how straight forward it is, much like highcharts. I'll explore it more tomorrow.
Actually I personally like the concept of Vega but in my humble opinion the protocol is too academic, implementation goes too slowly so I doubt that Vega suits for real world application.

This is the feature that most users of QlikView, PowerView and Tableau are buying from an end user experience point of view.
There are essentially two types of dashboard experiences:
1. Static: a collage of individual visual elements presented as on a single page;
2. Interactive: the same as above but with the capability to do filtering.
how much data you can visualize with TauCharts? And on the first glance couldn't see how many different types of chart you can make.

Any plans for spider chart? Geo charts?
Basic Geo charts are already there, but not documented so far. In future we are going to support all type of visualizations from Grammar of Graphic, so it includes spider chart as well. In fact it is Polar Parallel chart and it will be possible to create it when support of polar coordinates will be added.
