I've been using DDG as my main driver for over 2 years now. Contrary to the vast majority of commenters here, I almost never use !g.

90% of of the time, if my first search didn't produce a useful result on DDG, I end up !stackoverflow or !stackexchange.

The other ~10% of the time I do use !g, it's almost always if I'm looking for something very specific, e.g. that one article on markov-chains from HN years ago.

Frankly I don't understand how someone can go back to googling after using the DDG interface for so long. There are so may ads on Google now it takes forever to get to the relevant results.
