Fossil is awesome, but (currently) would not scale to Facebook-size repos. It seems to be fine with long histories (lots of commits), but bogs down on lots of files (based on discussions surrounding a large repo considering moving to fossil).

For personal projects, it’s absolutely the bees knees. I can have multiple checkouts of the same repo, ask fossil about every single repo I have, has a really pleasant CLI, has a web-interface (which I personally hardly use anymore), manages tickets, ... sort of github in-a-box, but more pleasant.
