From reading the article, it seems that it isn't, yet. The posited theory is that Android will eventually include the app in its default install, so at that point it might be worth installing if most of your friends are Android users. Until then, skip it.
I've had good experiences with WhatsApp. Plus, it has become popular enough over here that most of the regular BBM users I know have WhatsApp installed as well.
Never used BBM, but have been pretty happy with both Beluga and GroupMe...though I'd say GroupMe is the one to go with, as Beluga got bought by Facebook.

Is this app worth a download?
Is there any iOS app out there that come close to BBM? It seems that all the one I tried were very buggy.

(Yeah, totally not worth it.)
