I wish they would have used ProtoVis with DataMarket's IE Shim

Yes Protovis is no longer maintained, but here is a good post defending it: http://blog.datamarket.com/2011/09/12/the-protovis-stays/

And used Socket.IO for comm (they might)

However, it is lovely, I am going try it out :)

The guy who wrote it is the author of d3, which might explain why they used d3. Plus, d3 is awesome.

Mike Bostock (creator of Protovis and D3) now works at Square, which helps explain this release from them. :)
