This needs to be killed immediately. I think that it causes the conflict with open nature of Android. Designed more to keep users inside Facebook all the time then in Open Android space.
Maybe it's just my hatred towards Facebook. Although I use it actively, I don't support them truly as their privacy policies raise a concern.

Well. You are not looking at the bright side. I see two benefits…
Hardcore Facebook fans would be tempted to ditch iPhones for Androids.Borderline Facebook users would find more reasons to hate Facebook.
I think it is a good thing for Google overall. Android devices would get a very high quality optional frontend that operators would actually love to offer by default. They would still be the one powering most services (search, navigation etc.).
Not a big threat till Facebook is ready with their own fork of Android which is definitely coming.
The best news is that the app would be creepy enough to scare more users away from Facebook.

Tried it out. It's not that great. I'll be uninstalling in a while.Tis a bit creepy though.

Yes. Its very flexible. And one day, Facebook will come with forked version of Android. Will be interesting to see Google's reaction then.
I am sure, they aren't happy at this moment, as well. From what I heard, Facebook Home disables Google search and some other or all (?) services/widgets from homescreen takes full control of it. I may be wrong or partially incorrect with this info but Google can't be happy with development.
