It's impressive how fast TensorFlow has become this popular (judging not only by the number of stars it has but also by the number of other projects in that list related to TF)

No metrics are perfect but I highly suggest following francois chollet (fchollet on twitter and hn, creator of keras) for his monthly updates.

He does a pretty good job of showing actual activity on github: https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/753980621823750145

I point this out because drive by stars of a project are easy...but it doesn't reflect actual user activity.

This is true. Stars in this context are also more indicative of projects that are attractive to a more mainstream audience. Examples like Deep Dream and Neural style, where laymen visit the Github page and star the project because it's "cool" are prominently featured, while projects like Torch and Theano have had massively more impact on the deep learning world today.

A few comments on some of these projects:

Keras is pretty much the best way to do almost anything these days. If you are starting out learning, use ConvNet JS, but after that switch to Keras.

TFLearn is really nice if you are already using Scikit.

There's lot of frameworks on there: TensorFlow, Caffe, CNTK (that's a lot of stars for something no one outside MS uses!) Theano, Torch etc. But I think the sleeper there is MXNet. I haven't used it, but I hear good things about it, and DLMC have good track record in producing some pretty nice software (XGBoost!).

Also, DeepDetect! I keep trying to find that and never can remember the name.

What makes Keras take the advantage?
