Because it's illegal. Copying licensed code, like this: (left rooms.me, right nuggetsapp) https://www.diffchecker.com/gmudwop7 is I L L E G A L, and I M M O R A L. Letting it slide is not okay!
This sparked a debate in our office - clearly designers look to other sites for inspiration, but at what point does it actually become illegal? If the user didn't copy / paste and instead reverse-engineered the code, would it be legal? (but still immoral, of course).
IANAL (but work around a lot of them)
Even if it was just an interpretation, chances are FB would have a strong case in court. Pretty much every artistic and expressive UI/UX element from the original site has been copied and placed on the nuggets site. There's not really anything being creatively added or remixed by the nuggets creator.
If insane shit like patents on rounded app icons and the iTunes "music note" logo gets regularly brought to court and settled[1], then copying the entire L&F of a site is definitely infringing.

In fairness, "nobody gives a shit how the sausage is made." If this product adds value to people's lives, why does it matter if they lifted the website design?

Honestly, who gives a shit? Just let the web move forward the way it has since forever.

Balls, which is what Facebook will have him by for ripping off Rooms.

...How is this moving anything forward? It's not novel or innovative at all.

#18I've wanted an app like this for a long time. But the wholesale literal copy-pasting of the design just sucks and makes me sad.

In what way does copying another site's design and HTML "move the web forward?"
If anything, doing that holds the web back.

#20Setting aside this embarrassing directly-copied-layout issue, I have to say the concept itself is very nice. Is it original idea or is it also cloned from other app?
If former is true, that's a pity the author shoot himself in the knee. If the latter is true, could you point me to other, original app(s)?
