D3 is indeed a well-thought-out library for connecting data with DOM. Of Javascript frameworks that I have played with, jQuery and D3 are the only ones that I've truly enjoyed. And although D3 and jQuery have a lot of overlap, it's easy to mix them. We are using both at Fount (http://fount.io, just an early demo at the moment). We use D3 for data displays and jQuery for Ajax and the rest of the UI.
