That's how I felt with all other search engines I tried before Kagi. I found myself needing to check google anyway very often, so I'd end up switching back because in most searches I was really just wasting time using the alternate search engine.
Kagi has been the only engine where, since setting as default, the only times I've used google search has been on machines I don't control. I have found it to have most of the widgets I tend to like (unit conversions, calculators etc).

By "used" I mean I would habitually prefix all of my web searches with !g because I just came to expect that DDG's results would be bad. I was pretty much just using it as a bang-syntax engine. Maybe I should've broken that habit to give DDG a fairer shake before switching away to Kagi, but when I switched, I added a custom search engine to my browser with the keyword "!g" that strips out the !g and searches on Kagi. My experience is that it gives me the results I'm looking for 95% of the time, and for most of the 5% where I don't get good results, Google also fails to give me good results. In the past year or so, there have been several times where one of my coworkers lamented how bad Google search was, and in almost every example, Kagi performed better.
