I partially agree: don't use it as a framework, but do use its libraries, they are good!

A good chunk of it's libraries are re-exported open source libraries exporting alternate/C++ interfaces though! For example, GSL, FFTW3, and more than a few others.

I will say that it is nice that it has most any math function you will need. I know people who get super frustrated when they can't find a landau distribution in whatever language/library they are using and then just go back to ROOT at the end of the day.
