You can freeze the header titles, but not the leftmost column. If you have a very wide table, this is a problem.
You cannot put NA in a cell if it's a number - this is a big problem that I had to solve with CSS by making a certain range of numbers have the same cell background and font so that it would appear blank. This is not a great solution, but it's more accurate than a zero

It has extensive documentation. Lots of options, lots of examples, lots of explanations. You'll never need to go digging through the source code trying to figure out how to do something.
It has a very predictable API. Once you learn to use it for one chart type, it's easy to begin building other charts.
It throws helpful errors. When something goes wrong, it's not difficult to figure out why.,It's not an extensible library. If you want to do something that isn't covered by it's feature set, there are no hooks to implement it yourself. If you're looking to choose it for a project, make sure it covers all your edge cases for visualization needs.
There are very limited options for visual styling. You get what they give you.
Tooltips are extremely limited. You can't add custom HTML. Plain text is all you get.
