Referring to this example:
http://vallandingham.me/stepper_steps.html
it seems that the D3 and jQuery libraries are very similar in the sense that they both do DOM manipulation in an object-chaining way.
I'm curious as to know what functions D3 makes easier than jQuery and vice versa. There are plenty of graphing and visualization libraries that use jQuery as a basis (e.g., highcharts, flot, wijmo).
Please give specific examples of how they are different.
