The author's assertion that D3 doesn't work with Angular is rather fishy seeing as there is a book specifically written about using D3 with Angular: https://leanpub.com/d3angularjs
He doesn't assert that it doesn't work with it. Rather, the author states you shouldn't interact heavily with the DOM with both Angular and D3 - choose one to keep things simpler.

The existence of this book, as well as the numerous d3/angular wrapper projects, don't make his assertion 'fishy' - they prove it.
