I've used DP for at least 12 years now, after jumping from PT. I do a lot of records, film scores and commercial jobs here. I find DP to be an excellent tool. It works for me, as a commercial studio, because I tend to produce most of the projects here from start to finish so it's rare that someone brings in a project, which would invariably be on PT. When it does happen (once a month, maybe) I simply have them consolidate the tracks so they all start at zero, with no plug-ins, and drag them in. If I was starting a commercial facility, It'd be tough NOT to use PT since that's the most common format people will bring in. It's a tough call.
I started engineering W-A-Y back in the tape era (!) and DP basically feels like a tape machine to me. Much more than PT and certainly Logic. It can do what other programs do, but on an interactive level, it feels like a tape machine.
