"Although NESFab performance is good, writing assembly by hand can obviously surpass it"
These project obviously have different goals. DeiMOS is for people already writing assembler that want optimal assembler.
NESFab is a compiler - apparently a very good one (hard to do for 6502), but nonetheless not directly competing with people hand writing assembler and looking to save every byte and/or cycle.
