It would be useful to know which chart services users of this module are using, and whether there is one service that is being more widely used. What are folks using it for?

I'm trying to use Open Flash Chart, but the 1.x version being more supported than 2.x is disturbing. Neither seem to work real well and the separate module is pretty annoying. Would anyone really use Open Flash Chart API without Charts? Not sure yet.

Next candidate is Fusion Charts, which seems to be better supported but commercial.

I'll use Google as my last resort, though seems like it's the best supported (considering it's not a pain in the arse to get running like the others).

Not on the list, but I've moved to Flot. Love it - it doesn't cover the same features as the others, but it handles what I need very well without flash. (and it works in IE).

Also using Flot. Charts just doesn't have enough options with 2d line charts.

The new version of the module supports two popular and well-built libraries: New Google Charts (SVG/VML-based) and Highcharts. The other libraries have been dropped from the project. FusionCharts could probably be updated to D7, considering it also has a non-flash version these days. However with two already-good choices that are cheap or free, I can't think of a reason to expand support at this point.
