One thing I liked about the pie menu is the area where the mouse click needs to take place increases in width as you move away from the center, making it easy to make the desired pick. I often find when navigating nested rectangular menus that it's difficult to keep the mouse hovered in the desired area and it tends to open the wrong one unless the cursor is very precisely placed. This is especially troublesome when navigating thru several menu levels.
