I use DDG in everyday life, and it has been about 3 months since I am doing so. Most of my searches are very narrow, in which case both DDG, and Google perform pretty much the same.

Consider a "wide scope" search: "how to write a modular app in ruby". In such cases, most of the times the results in the both the search engines are very different. See DDG: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+write+a+modular+app+in+ruby... and Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+create+a+modular+app+...

Also, for images, you will have to go back to Google. DDG image search is simply not good enough. And DDG often pops up images in search results when they are not called for (and those images are mostly useless), which is kinda annoying.
