@oxinabox can speak to this more directly, but as I understand, DataDeps was designed before Artifacts were available. There are a lot of overlaps in functionality, but IIRC, there are still some things DataDeps can do that artifacts can’t. For one thing, DataDeps are usable pre-1.3. I don’t recall the other things.
