This question is a bit like "what are the advantages of using discrete 
components instead of integrated circuits".

The DSP is already something "pre-cooked", a processor dedicated to a 
certain class of algorithms, whereas the FPGA *can* be transformed into 
a DSP but also something entirely different.
