Here are a few reasons why : It's python also i can use it quite easily with my gpus (gtx) also it's distributed across servers using gRPC
Tensor Flow has a clean, modular architecture with multiple frontends and execution platforms. Details are in the white paper.

After learning Theano now i can easily convert to TensorFlow
