When I need to make graphics for research talks, I usually turn to TikZ [1] since I currently make talks using latex-beamer. But I'm always impressed when I look at D3.js and I think it would be great to have a more reliable way to add animations, as well as putting interactive content on my website.
Given that LaTeX math is important to me, should I make a serious effort to learn D3.js (and one of the HTML slide deck packages) or stick with LaTeX? Note that figures usually can't be directly reused between talks and papers anyway, but a modest amount of tweaking is usually enough. Using HTML/D3.js instead of latex-beamer for talks would probably make reuse in talks more difficult.
