I have been running Aurora and when it switched to Yahoo I just kept it. There are a few times when I find the results dissapointing, but I have no special affinity for Google or Google search. In terms of brand loyalty Google has removed any reason to be "loyal" to their search brand and has been operating on being better then everyone else, however its getting close for most mainstream searches and if I can support a healthy marketplace then I am all for it.

Same here. Amusingly, it actually took me a day or two to realize that the search engine had changed (I finally noticed that the emoticon in the tab was different). It's true that Yahoo's results are sometimes noticeably worse than Google's. The result I want can often be at the third or fourth position on the page, rather than first (where it most often is on Google). Given that Google is obviously personalizing my results based on my query history (unless the Rust programming language is really the world's most popular interpretation of the term "Rust"...), I'll be curious to see if Yahoo does the same over time.
