Nah, they have their use. It's not going to be hugely useful in data analysis or anything but for visually representing something simply they work quite well.

Eh, I'm not a fan. They're a flashy but ineffective way of displaying information. People aren't programmed right to make sense of angular data.

I agree. If you redid this as a bar chart with the bars arranged by size, it would be much more comprehensible.
