Personally I need to switch from ddg to Google maybe 0.1% of my searches, but at least for you you've managed to avoid Google 70% of the time, and it's not like adding a !g to do so takes more a milisecond.

For me, it is 70% I have to use Google.

Even for not-that-obscure bands, all DDG needs to do is return the wikipedia page and it fails to do that.

Right, but running 30% of your searches a second time, after looking through unhelpful results on the first attempt, takes more than a few ms.
I agree, and I'm still very thankful for DDG. Would gladly pay to have someone take me even further.
