That's a good list on SO from Johann Strathaus. Thanks for the link. It's unfortunate that after being open for 5 years, having hundreds of up-votes, and 30 answers with several good responses, the question was recently closed on StackOverflow as being off-topic.
Like I just upvoted your comment? Because it had JS in the body... Just kidding, I agree completely with you. It's currently very "in vogue" to promote anything remotely related to JS or Node. I always say, right tool for the job, and if that happens to be JS/Node, great. However, sometimes it feels like these JS pushers have JS as their proverbial hammer, and every single problem they encounter is a nail to be hammered (with JS).
(BTW, see http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock for an impressive collection of visualizations made with D3.js. Impressive both in terms of size of the collection, quality of the code and clarity of the visualizations.)
Fair enough. Sometimes it's nice to see other people's implementation of the same thing, just for comparison. It's similar to learning how to say things with other words.

If all you need is spring layout without the rest of D3, Springy might be a better fit.
Just found it interesting.
