Yep. I "used" DDG for years before switching to Kagi. 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.
