I use DDG by default and it covers most of my searches, but I do have 2 main issues.
1. Maps and business information is way better with Google.
2. I usually work with Salesforce, which uses a lot of words from the 'traditional' developer ecosystem, but is an entirely separate world. Google "knows" that the method I'm looking for is in the Apex string class, not the Java one.
It's not enough to get me to switch but I find a lot of Salesforce related queries which give perfect results on Google, but overly generic ones on DDG. I suspect that's a common issue when you work in a more niche area where the personalization is more valuable.
