It's not so much a replacement of Bar Addons as it is a supplement.

I've set mine up for more utility. I use bartender to arrange and rescale my bars, but use Opie for tasks such as eating, drinking, mounting, summoning, portals/foods on my mage. This lets me keep my high priority spells available, but access everything else VERY easily. I was most excited to see raid target icons. Target, then flip the mouse.. you've marked your target.

I've found, using an N52 gamer pad, that if i attempt to us Opie in a combat situation, it does some tricky things to my mouse cursor. It locks into a view movement state. Monitoring cooldown timers is very tricky as well... they can be indicated on the icon, but you have to pull up the ring to see the icon. Not good if you've got spells that you like spamming.

This addon is arguably one of the better addons I've ever installed.
