Familiarity, if you are using languages like ruby, javascript, etc, you will find it easier to understand Elixir.
Elixir also has some high level libraries, Enum, Stream, GenStage, Agents, Tasks.
It's nothing that you can't do in Erlang, you would just have to create it by yourself.
Great tooling with Mix.

Just off the top of my head :)
