So why exactly don't we see as many Facebook apps as we do for Twitter?

[TheBiles]

The Twitter apps are numerous and wonderful in both features and interface. Why haven't we seen more Facebook apps? Is the API really that horrible?

Because the facebook interface is very complicated, and they only allow so many developers access to the code to make apps for it. Twitter is very simple, just a feed, and a one line update button.
