The first hackathon I attended I was a beginner programmer - but was welcomed and found it a great learning experience. Many experienced developers like the eye of a younger coder to help them rethink an idea rather than to do it the way they've been doing it for years. Also, there is more than just coding to be done!

I would argue this has nothing to do with being used to highcharts and in fact is how a user would think. A chart library that follows anything from Edward Tufte should allow a user to make the chart as simple as they require it.

If a user has 10 series, and disables all but 1 to look at it and then decide to look at another in isolation, he would, in his naivety as a user, perhaps disable the one he's looking at before enabling the one he wishes to look at. After-all, he's looking at one at a time, so having two on at once could seem wrong to him for his current process. Disabling that one isn't disabled, nor does it blank the chart. Instead it does something completely unexpected, and is in no way predictable. It enables all 10 series again.

If you're designing a charting library that you want to be usable then it should follow user expectation. And no user will expect that turning off all series will in fact re-enable them all. It would make more sense to disable turning off all the series and requiring one on at any one time.
