As a user of both, I tend to agree with Christian Bogen: I see them as
different animals, suitable to different purposes.

I use DT Pro as my research database in which I store a large number of
pdf:s, bibliographical information, and research notes. DT Pro's fuzzy
search and "See also" functionality is fantastic for discovering new
linkages.

I use Yojimbo for the "everything else", the stuff I really otherwise
would not know where to put. Ease of entry is I think the real winner
here. Better integration with, e.g., Mailsmith and scriptability would,
of course be welcome, but not crucial.

I consider DT Pro a solid (though a little feature bloated) advanced
application for "heavy" storage and processing needs. Yojimbo is like an
unlimited electronic wallet into which I can simply and quickly store
anything and everything. But I have not yet even considered using it for
heavy lifting. To me, of course, this seems perfectly natural, and I
therefore don't really understand all feature requests that would, more
or less make Yojimbo into another DT Pro. That, I think, would defeat
much of Yojimbo's purpose, as I understand it.

Best,
Casper.
