I remember using early Torch (in Lua! As someone who knew only Matlab!) in 2015-ish; and then using Keras (which is supposed to be an abstraction layer over NN frameworks) and finding it much more verbose and complicated to use without recurring to code snippets.

Perhaps it’s the nature of the game that changed with many new kinds of architectures and so on. But maybe Keras is already overengineered for someone who just wants to make thumbnail sized GAN stuff at home.
