I think it is a very good idea to express facts in a "standard" vocabulary, so I am excited to see Wikidata available with DBpedia vocabulary -- this is a quick answer for people who like DBpedia to get better data.
There is the minus that there will always been some loss in conversion between vocabularies, but I think that will be more than made up by having a data set than many people will be able to use right out of the gate.
