Two things come to mind: gnats uses wildcard topics, very useful to create filtered subscriptions. And gnats is pretty good at dealing with backpressure; the stated aim of Mist is to silently drop messages if clients can't keep up.

I would also say that gnats is mature and has been proven in production for several years, which might not be the case with this project.
