From what I understand, AOP is mainly useful for modifying code at runtime that you can't modify before compile time. So for adding logging to your app, meh. For adding logging around a closed source third party lib? Awesome.
Compile time around third party code, or just yours? Because I was trying to extract a point of difference where AOP does something you couldn't do otherwise.
AFAIK - PostSharp modifies your code based on annotations you specified on whole assemblies, namespaces or just classes during compilation to do stuff that otherwise would be impossible

Not really, AOP can be compile time - e.g. PostSharp.
