I can't agree. Instead of taking everyone's advice of either switching to perforce (less user-friendly/frustrating repo) or splitting their repo into parts, facebook built a solution where they don't have to make either compromise.

Just because their solution is complex doesn't mean they're using the technology wrong. They set out their requirements and they met all of them. All their engineers are more efficient now and all this complexity happens behind the scenes.
