It's far more superior.

-DBPro uses DirectX 9.0, where DBC uses DirectX 7.0
-DBPro is compiled to machine code, DBC is interpreted (much slower)
-DBPro has a lot more features than DBC. The list is pretty large, but to name the most important things: shader support (graphics card effects), vertexdata commands (fast access to object's geometry), bone animation.
-DBPro supports plugins

I'd even say DBPro is more compatible with today's hardware.

That is not a good thing, in my opinion. There are compatibility issues with DirectX 9.0c, which DBP uses.

DarkBASIC (classic) does as well.

I agree with everything else you said, though. DarkBASIC Pro is better for some people, and DarkBASIC is better for others.

Exactly what compatibility issues do you mean?

If i provide with the game the specific DX dll files which aren't present on never DirectX systems, i haven't ever run into issues before.

Yes, of course, but just make sure that you are authorized to distribute those DLLs. If you aren't, people will have to install the DirectX 9.0c redistributable package.
