Display suite also offers a way to add additional view modes (and other functionality). Are you familiar with DS and could you (maybe on the project page) explain how this module is different from DS?

This is the successor to Build modes so I would point you to #785416: duplicate?:

It has functionality that is in display suite, but display suite can add overhead/features to a project that is not necessarily desired.

(Personally, I just add the build modes via a custom module + hook_content_build_modes ), however if I wanted to simply create new build modes, I'd opt for this module (assuming it does it correctly) over DS. (Funny enough, DS used to not do build_modes in a way compatable with hook_content_build_modes, which caused a host of problems. I haven't tried it in a while, and I know they fixed that one at least).

This isn't a duplicate of display suite. Display suite does much more than build modes, it overrides field formatters, provides alternative field formatters, renders fields in page regions. Build modes simply extends the core build modes functionality in Drupal 6 in what I think are common sense directions.

I have added a short comparison on the project page.
