Mass Effect 3 might be a more fair basis for comparison. On that basis, D3 holds up quite well though Mass Effect 3's smoother implementation of online/offline modes, DRM, and other less-consumer-friendly aspects means that ME3+Origin might come off sounding like a better deal than Diablo 3 +BNet. That is at least for the time being considering Battle Net server issues during launch week.
Of course the snarky take away from that comparison would be "Diablo III makes EA's Origin look alright." I wouldn't go that far myself, but I have seen the comparison made by angry blizzard customers. Speaking of anger, you might want to check out the official forums for a good laugh/cry. The prevailing attitudes there are (as is often the case on official forums) rather disgusting. I am talking about the hostile reaction of some fans in attacking people complaining about connectivity issues.
