Hey jvcrawford,
I totally agree. In fact, earlier this year I started working on a Flex-based "Report Builder" module that does exactly this: generates custom pie charts, bar charts, line charts etc based on your custom form field data. I got it working very minimally, but it needed a lot more work and frankly I didn't have time - plus I couldn't afford the pricetag of Flex Professional + graphing options at the time.
I actually rather like the Wufoo script, but I know what you mean about the JS overkill.
Anyway, thanks for the idea. I'll definitely keep it in mind.
