It is essentially a Lua equivalent to Theano. A significant difference, though, is that it makes running your NNs on GPU extremely easy.

Also, it is endorsed by the main deep convnets research groups (Facebook, Google).

What specifically do you find not-so-easy about running Theano (or rather, a NN library built on top of Theano) on GPUs?
