How does Dewalt rate in terms of trade quality tools?

Makita are excellent quality and you see many on sites whether commercial industrial or domestic. Bear in mind that within any brand the occasional poorly designed tool is made. Makita's cordless lawnmower for example.
But you see many Dewalt as well. Strangely I hardly ever see blue Bosch.

Any.
Only the 12 year old brand fan bois say things like "My dewalt drill is better than your Makita drill". They both drill.
Select tools based on features you want or need not names to impress others.

Having suffered a broken bosch jigsaw recently because their blade gripper was idiotic, I don't think brand is the only thing you should look at. You will also need time-tested and conservative designs. I replaced it with a makita mt-series budget unit that has the old style blade gripper.

I would rather spend a bit more money and get a brand that will last

Perhaps it's the battery that makes it heavy so the better the quality then the heavier the battery and motor perhaps.

Which would be the order of quality for the following tool brands?
Makita
Dewalt
Bosch - What is the colour of their trade kit? Is it blue for trade kit black for DIY?
Is it true Bosch has been taken over by Black and Decker?

Everyone has their brand preference, so might be hard to recommend one.
A new one on me, Stanley Black&Decker own DeWalt.
