Looks like an incredible addon, but I feel like I'm adding it to the long list of addons that do the same things with subtle differences. It's hard to choose between these super-addons, like Power Auras and DoTimer.

I would say the differences are more than subtle.
PowerAuras does graphics or timers, not duration/cooldown bars or castbars.
DoTimer does bars, but only for cooldowns and durations, not castbars.
Gnosis does castbars, duration and cooldown bars, but not graphical indicators and are not as flexible as PowerAuras regarding the conditions and checks based on other auras. Nor does Gnosis work well for multi-target display for the expected durations like DoTimer does so you can see what to refresh dots on, even if that is not your target or focus etc.
They each have their own niche, you just need to figure out what you actually need.
