What makes ros different than other framework

I have been using ros for few months now and really like the structure of it , particularly nodes communicate with each other via topic and message and integrated middleware like opencv, openni, point cluod . But i dont still fully understand the best of it over other framework. In fact i can use other framework for my project. Now it makes me to rethink what is the best feature that makes people like ros

I guess the most important point is the user community. ROS is the de facto standard in universities and more and more industrial research groups.
