GSI is a gaia only thing. Its there backbone to everything. And its not one script, GSI is lots and lots of scripts being controlled from one central location. Makes it easier to expand later on. Good idea, not too good in practice. Makes for in-security because of how complex it has to be. Simple is better and facebook happens to be simply coded. As simple as possible that is.
How can you say Facebook is simply coded? I've heard they've developed in-house one of the best PHP frameworks going around.

GSI isn't complex at all. Each GSI request is assigned a particular id. They cross reference that id with the database to assign the request to a particular PHP script. It's actually very simple.
