I used to use it a lot but google now provides most answers as well and much faster. Wolframalpha performance is still sluggish and 6 second loading for a bunch

  I doubt the target audience is the same. WA is way more powerful than google(which on the other hand has more data, not always exactly accurate), but we're comparing apples to peaches here.The problem with WA i would say is the fact that people who would use it(hobbyists, students, researchers, etc) probably don't always have internet connection or are fans of the "cloud".I used to love having WA when i was studying math, even though it is limited in the capacity of showing different methods of achieving a result, it is useful in that you can check yourself. In academia sphere the last time i checked internet speeds & latency are still an issue, but i might be wrong about that, also google has probably the most & fastest servers, so we're talking about a performance issue and not necessarily a lack of features.
