I'm don't think that replacing pie charts with pixel charts is a good change.
To me, the thing that is most obviously lost is the abiliy to compare the size of one pie segment with another. With a pie chart the segments are the same size, with the example pixel charts I think it's harder to compare the size of the different coloured areas because they are very different shapes.
Pixel charts may be new and trendy but are they actually an improvement? I think not.
