Yes. Yes. 1000x yes. Pie charts are bad and there is almost no justification for using them. Humans are bad at estimating area - and donut charts help fix this. I actually pretend donut charts are "curved line charts".

Also, engineers are notoriously bad at making visualizations. Sorry if this offends you. I would recommend everyone here spend some time looking at pretty visualizations and maybe reading about it

Don't know why you're downvoted; pie charts are exclusively used for obfuscating data for clients in a pretty way.

No sane person who cares about data-driven decisions uses piecharts.

Would you like to share any resources for good practices?

Edward Tufte's various books like The Visual Display of Quantitative Information and Envisioning Information are old but good books.

That said, they are more of an inspiration than a practical handbook of templates to make your own visualization.

I really like Stephen Few.
