First of all Keras is a complete API for managing neural networks and is an open source tool. I find its API extremely convenient to use - definitely simpler to use than PyTorch

There is minimum configurability and things that are essential and easily accomplished in other frameworks takes a while. For example, building a layer that is not in one of the predefined templates or checking the weights on each layers.
