The problem with early DC was that you couldn't boost it using a transformer. For that you need AC. With today's technology, I'm sure DC is more than competitive. In fact, big transformers are one of the highest-cost (and biggest power loss) items involved in AC power transmission.

Anyway, Tesla and Westinghouse beat that bugger Edison, so it was cool. :D
