@Gideon Baldridge - Could you elaborate more on the issues that you struggle with? The usability has been a hot topic of debate around here. Hit me up at matt [at] chartbeat [dot] com if you'd rather take it offline.
I think they work alright for cyclical data (like daily pageviews on a weekly cycle) but for everything else I find myself trying to flatten the line in my head.

Looks great, but what does it mean? It's a rhetorical question. I'm with @Gideon. Radar graphs are useful, but they aren't exactly intuitive.
