Comparing their Finance demo [1] to the HighStocks equivalent [2]. It comes in at nearly twice the lines of code for significantly less functionality. Obviously there's a difference in approach here - HighStocks comes with lots of sensible default options where as Plottable.js seems to require more explicit configuration. And Highcharts is a commercial product whereas Plottable is free.
For me though Highcharts/Highstocks is still easily worth its license fees. In my experience >90% of charts I require are very simple to implement in Highcharts and the sensible defaults make your life easy. For the other <10% use D3/a custom solution.
