Indeed from what I've heard it seems that DeWalt is despised by many professionals, while some feel that Makita is only one step up.

DeWalt is just another brand owned by Stanley Black & Decker https://www.stanleyblackanddecker.com/
Makita is a standalone company that doesn't have a stable of brands (although potentially some OEM?).
See https://pressurewashr.com/tool-industry-behemoths/ for lists of brands owned by parent companies.
Not saying that you can't judge by the "brand"; just saying that many people are unaware that many brands are somewhat cosmetic...
