I think the progress in neural networks is amazing. Every week the usage of tensorflow and friends seem to become a good chunk easier to use. Even people like me with close to no mathematical background can now spin up tensorflow and run a neural network. I'm loving it!

I would encourage you to try to use Tensorflow directly. Once you understand placeholders, variables, etc., it is not that much harder than most higher level wrappers.
It requires a bit more thinking ahead-of-time thinking, but also gives far more flexibility.
That said, I have found Keras to be excellent for quick experiments. Even more, because it supports both Tensorflow and Theano as backends.
