"If you’re never really going to escape Google—and if Bing is pretty much exactly like Google—what’s the point?" From my perspective, there still is a point doing so - enhance privacy by feeding less personal data to Google. I still use Google search when necessary, but I also use DDG, Bing and startpage.com. I also use some of the Google services, like for example Reader, which is a superior product far ahead of any competition, but I stopped using some of their other services like Gmail, G+, Bookmarks, etc. So while ditching Google completely is currently inpractical, reducing its usage is still justifiable thing to do.
