Welcome!
Regarding the censorship resistance and PoW, I feel the need to point to mining pools - there are few chains where it would require 11 individual entities to get a 51% majority to be able to deny transactions. ETH had 2-3 dominating pools, BTC 3-4 last times I checked.
So DPoS might even be more resistant as long as the stake is distributed enough to make buying control too expensive, the exchange threat is mitigated, and stakeholders are actively voting. I think we have achieved the first with the last, and will achieve the second with the upcoming Hardfork. User participation was awesome during the takeover, I hope that will remain, because in the end it's the most important point.
