I think overall the design and implementation is quite impressive. However, the feeling I got when I installed it last night was that it limits my phone's experience (ie., no widgets, etc). So while I can see Facebook Home appeal to hard-core FB users (ie., especially younger ones), I don't think it will appeal to everyone. But that's not necessarily a bad thing if the target is the hard-core FB user. I'm sure over time FB Home will get better and likely appeal to more people and it extends its capabilities.

Right on. Thanks for checking it out! I'm looking forward to getting more of the features that power users look for in the launcher so we can widen our potential audience.
Are widgets considered a power user thing? My mom/dad/wife all use widgets and I'd say they are far from power users.
