I tried it for a while and liked PS better, but that was ages ago and I know a lot more about post-processing now.
DxO does no local adjustments, all global. A committed PS wonk will probably not like it. It's great for RAW conversion to jpeg or tiff, correcting for lens errors and being great at maximizing dynamic range and color balance. If you still want to do detail work you'll need to go into PS.
