I find this sentiment among most researchers and industry people I've talked to at IROS and ICRA. I always make a point to ask what they like about ROS when I find out they're using it and probably 95% of the time the top 2 answers are the message transport layer and rviz (the visualization tool). tf (the frame of reference graph) is sometimes in the top 2, but it's also been a complete pain for me (and others, so much that there are 2 competing versions: tf and tf2) and would be in my bottom 2 features. The rest of it I find most people say they could do without.
