Three Points:
1. Google + is for Googlers, no outsiders can Enter in Google+
2. Google + is for all Geeky people, but what about your Mother/Aunt who hardly understands computer, for them Facebook is the best!
3. Google + is best for something to share , but Facebook is best for something to express

Have you even used Google+? Because I don't think you would be saying that otherwise. Just because Google+ is currently used mostly by techies, doesn't mean it has a difficult interface or anything like that. In fact it's MUCH more intuitive than Facebook.
After about 30-60 minutes of using it once, just about anyone should be able to know how to use it. I know people who kept asking me how to use Facebook days after setting them up.
Yes, Facebook is common and everyone has it, but that does not mean its interface is easier to use than Google+. Quite the opposite. It has a mediocre interface at best, and it's slow compared to Google+.
The reason it's used by techies mostly right now, is because most of the initial users that got invites were techies, and they invited mostly other techie guys. It has nothing to do with the interface or the product itself.
