Currying is great and all, but that in itself isn't a end all be all feature from which you could say that it is enough to eclipse lodash/underscore.

Is there anything else about it to that makes it really "eclipse" them or is it more like "ramda is also nice, especially because it has Currying"?

I would say creating a library that enables a "truer form" of functional programming is probably a pretty good enough feature on its own.

My experience with currying in Javascript is that passing the wrong number of arguments to a function leads to errors that are tricky to debug and ugly stack traces. In ML-family functional languages this isn't as much of a problem because of the static type checking.
