I use DDG about 2/3 of the time. Like others have said, its initial search quality is not up to Google's, and also its speed isn't either.

However, I do think that DDG is a more truthful search engine: it seems to search for what you ask for, not what it thinks you want. This provides, in my opinion, a more nuanced web, where interesting things can turn up that aren't highly "ranked".

And, I do prefer Gabriel's focus on anonymity and non-bubbling.
