Brownies trump cake but they are still one note texturally. A pie has a crust.
Nuts, chocolate chips...so many things you can put in them but even without it they put the smackdown on pie any day.6 -

I assume you mean crunchy since smooth would be the same texture.
Pies can be savory or sweet. They can also be FRIED. They are more versatile as-is.

You lost me at the word cake.

Not in the ones I make, peanut butter isn't the same consistency as brownie batter3 -

I live in the south and peaches are a big deal here this time of year. Nothing better than a warm gooey peach cobbler made with fresh peaches from our farmers market. Even better if you have room in your calories for vanilla ice cream to go with it.
I think I may just have to make one this weekend...2 -

You don't often get brownies with nuts in... stupid people with nut allergies1 -

YASSSS!
You haven't heard of the wonder that is the cake sandwich.1 -
I believe the general consensus of this thread is that a dessert bar at work tomorrow is called for. Ballots will be cast afterward to determine whether cake, pie, or brownies are the superior dessert.11

Yeah, a lot of places don't sell them.
Walnut brownies are my favorite. I like to make my own and undercook them so they're very gooey.3 -
Lead by example, you do what works for you. Ignore the rest, possibly one day you'll be asked how on earth did you do it?
I had that conversation last week, someone in the work building plucked up the courage to ask me if I've lost weight. " I see you every day and haven't noticed", yip I'm 6" smaller. Oh how did you do it? - at this point you can assume they are more engaging.
The thought of weighing turned her off, but we found common ground with walking. So much so the next day she looked out for me to tell me she had been inspired to walk to work. I still get a daily wave, but do suspect the walking part has lessened.
Let them wonder what have you got they haven't.5 -

I have a peanut allergy, but that's why pecans exist! A brownie isn't a brownie without nuts. Same with fudge! XD
I love me a good brownie. But I also love me a good pie.
Apple pie with a bit of vanilla bean ice cream...0 -

Texture is like a crunch element against something soft. Smooth peanut butter and the finished brownie are both soft.Walnut brownies are my favorite. I like to make my own and undercook them so they're very gooey.
Pies can be gooey without being under-cooked.

There's just no accounting for some people's lack of taste

I do enjoy a good pecan pie but the sweetness usually overshadows the crust. I don't really care for pie crust nor do I like the fruit fillings. My husband would agree with you though and have pie any day. But then, he doesn't like peanut butter so his food choices are dubious.
ETA: I am more than happy to make other folks pie and a little (or not) brownie for myself.1 -
Nanaimo bars trump brownies any day...7

Why is there brownie and pie talk with no actual brownies or pies?3
