I guess so but when I work with friend's tools it still sputters on anything that requires a little torque. Nice tools make it easier. If you're just assembling ikea furniture or hanging a picture frame, then ryobi is fine. If you're doing anything deeper than the paper on sheetrock, Dewalt all the way.
Honestly the price difference isn't that big of a deal, but what I'm thinking is that I am way more likely to see deals for Ryobi tools in the months and years to come, and probably pick up some more tools for use around the house and garage on the really really cheap (and staying in the same battery family) than I am for DeWalt tools.
I like Dewalt and Milwaukee, I also have Makita and Bosch that are going strong after years of service, (mainly home projects). I recently purchased a ryobi 16 gauge finish nailer and so far it's working fine.
On the drills and saws, you will be able to notice the difference- Dewalt and Milwaukee are great tools. For home use, they will last for a long time.

Hey man, Ryobi is just fine :-) I build furniture and our shop is about half Milwaukee and half Ryobi (except some corded Makita saws). Milwaukee usually does have a but more power but we've never had an issue with either. I prefer Ryobi for everything at home because it's such a better value than anything else.
I'm trying to decide on what cordless ecosystem to start with as I just bought my first home and need to do some woodworking/diy.
Is there really any substantial difference in quality between DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita?
All three make-up the general top tier of pro tools. Within the three, one specific tool of a brand can be somewhat better than the others. Watch "Project Farm" on Youtube for reviews. One top drill might have the most power but another will do better at delicate stuff. Ryobi tends to do ok on a lot of categories but there is usually one or two where its at the bottom. Those are what keep the costs down. Alas I never need a drill 5 days a week so I'll get a Ryobi for the random stuff I do.The pro tools can be heavier and cost more.
I think a person can build a more diverse set of tools with the Ryobi line since the cost is less and they make a lot of different things. A few weeks ago I bought a $50 Ryobi cordless fan on sale for $20. A similiar DeWalt fan.is $100 on Amazon and at Home Depot. The fans seem practically the same. Last week I added a 18v hammer drill (brushes) and two 4.0 Ah batteries for $100 (drill alone not on sale is $60). So for $120 I've got a fan, drill and 2 good sized batteries and charger. A DeWalt 20v hammer drill (brushless) is $160 at HD (not on sale) with no batteries. The DeWalt is a better drill but for me it would sit in a closet for 360 days a year.

All three make professional grade tools. Ryobi and Kobalt and Craftsman don't. Not really. I am in the Dewalt system because that is what we use at work. But all three are good. I can say that there are more slick deals for Dewalt than there are for Milwaukee. I don't follow Makita.
Went from Ryobi to Dewalt and love my Dewalt tools. If I had it to do over I would go Milwaukee. They seem to have more sales and their 12v line is better

a week or two back but sitting on it to see if a better deal comes around.
So now I'm between this deal and the one I linked above.
