What other services exist for people to build graphical dashboards?  At one 
point I was using grafana-labs.wikimedia.org 
<http://grafana-labs.wikimedia.org/> for some performance monitoring 
dashboards, but that is no longer available.

I remember trying superset when it was first released, and came to the 
conclusion that compared to quarry, it was just something new and different but 
didn't offer my any improved functionality so I just kept on using quarry.  I 
guess everybody else did the same, and I agree that if very few people are 
using it, continuing support is probably a poor use of limited resources.  
Still, it would be nice to have something which made it easy to build simple 
graphing dashboards.
