My dislike for the pie chart is well documented. Yesterday morning, Tableau Zen Master Matt Francis sent me this gif of a pie chart makeover.
At the same time, I was reading an article by Business Insider about how people spend time on their smartphones. The article contained this pie chart:

Here are some of the problems with this chart:
- It's a pie chart.
- Each slice is labeled with the category and the amount. Why not just make it a table if you're going to do that?
- There's no apparent order to the slices. At least sort the slices in descending order starting at 12 o'clock.
- In the article, they emphasize the top 3 categories, but they don't emphasize them in the pie chart.
