I've had both since they were released and recently upgraded. The paint DA is
very nice, and more than adequate for my needs. (I dumped SuperPaint 1.0 when
I got it, and also tend to use DeskPaint in preference to Canvas.) 
DeskDraw, in my opinion, is terrible. It is very slow, and has always crashed 
on any system I've tried it with over the years. I'm sure it works for some
people, but I didn't find it powerful enough to worry about (e.g., it doesn't
provide arrow-heads, which I need). I always used Canvas DA instead, and now 
that I have enough memory, just switch to FreeHand or Illustrator through
Multifinder.
