Based on the comments here it looks like people are really attached to dashboards. I don't think dashboards are completely going away, but people are not using dashboards properly. There are too many dashboards in every org that no one uses. And definitely, we need something more interactive, that acts based on the end-goals that we need instead of drowning in charts.

If it is worth viewing, why not put it on the HUD? Relegating it to the dashboard suggests you don't find it all that useful.
