I dunno. I'm a developer and I should know how to drive software. When I distrust the UI enough that I'm not sure if I've pinned down my privacy, then they're failing. I guarantee most of my friends don't know what they're sharing.
I think they should have "everyone / friends of friends/only friends" options as a default selection, with an advanced option if you really want to dig around. [Insert user-tested improvement here.] At the very least, you should be able to see every privacy related option on one page, not a tree of pages.
Also, when they add extra 'features', FB should stop switching new privacy settings to the least secure options! It's like whack-a-mole - you have to check them every so often just to see what Zuck has come up with while you weren't looking.
I also think they should add a principle to their privacy approach: "surprise the user as little as possible". While this isn't easily attainable, it is something to strive for.
