My main project is Cube.js.

I've been working on multiple deployments of Cube.js and usually, I pick Recharts. I'd say that Recharts' API design and approach when it comes to customization (raw SVG support) are main reasons why I chose it. Also, one should keep in mind that Recharts is SVG based, and may not be a good fit for heavy dashboards. I'd go with canvas-based chart library in that case.
