It's quick and has good range and power. It may not be as good as the SSBM version, but it can still get the job done.
Sometimes, I use the d-smash right after a spotdodge.

too many yoshies use downsmash after a spotdodge, every single time...
its a nice get the **** out of my face move, u can do a pseudo jab cancel to it but overall, his 5th worst move

Yeah, I generally prefer dtilt (or jab out of a spotdodge), since it has better range and much less lag, and functions just fine as a "get the **** out of my face move." Dsmash does comes out 2 frames faster than dtilt, though, and does more damage.

Well, d-smash is just one of the attacks I use after spotdodging.
Most of the time, I'll just use my tilts and ground pound.

Seriously Chaco? Niceeeee. Grab released semi spike near the edge please?

I do enjoy using it out of Bair as Chaco said. And when the Dsmash hit's twice...well that's always nice.

Nice damage racker, and I use it for punishing rolls since the disjoint timing of the hits gives the feel of a guaranteed hit, and at low % often hits twice. Also, I use it more on the mid-weights for an unknown reason.
Dsmash is a great move thanks to its amazing speed, good range, high damage and hitting both infront and behind Yoshi. Good out of a spotdodge, good with a DT and also good as you land from an aerial or something. Its most useful for clearing some space for Yoshi and buying you a bit of room to breath.

if u miss a d smash its pretty bad when u get punished

Honestly, you can jab one direction and then Ftilt the other way if you miss faster than you can downsmash.
I only use it after a Bair when im trying to build damage without blowing my kill moves too early. Even then Bair > Ftilt > aerial followup seems to work better.

One word of warning: don't use d-smash when your opponent is at 0%. Even if it hits they can still punish you. =/
