Thanks for the post, interesting insights.
Just one remark: recently I bumped into an article that argues why Pie charts are bad - esp. “fancy” 3D ones. When I started reading it, I didn’t think I’d be convinced, but after seeing the examples in the article I changed my mind. When I was trying to read the Pie charts in this articles I had an immediate recollection - it’s really hard to estimate the size of the Pie slices when they are oddly sized, in particular the smaller ones.
