The bangs like "!m Bangkok" leading to Google maps or "!inwx mydomain.com" leading you to the result pages of different searches or services are awesome

Pros:

!bangs are awesome, privacy for the win

Cons:

Results sometimes are a little outdated or not 100% relevant.

Im using DuckduckGo for a long time. Lately I started to see many ads on Quora and Reddit against google and when you click you see some information about Duckduckgo. I must say that i love the product but I don't like the marketing strategy. Your product is good and by only speaking against Google, you won't grow in the right direction

Been using it as the default for close to 3 years. Works fine enough, I only have to go to google for a few things.

?makers you did an amazing job at trying to compete with Google. Privacy is the 21st Century's biggest challenges and we will only see more privacy focused products over the next decade because as we become more enriched by different experiences within our homes and outside we will realise the downside of it all-- the lack of privacy, the lack of control and the lack of security. that's where these products will shine, expect I do fear that because these big tech companies like Google, FB and so forth (expect Apple since they are privacy focused) has such a large role in ur lives and disciplined our behaviours in such as way that even if we step away from these products we will find it hard to do so and revert back to them because its as James clear says a Behavioural Habit. I think education plays the largest role here, we need to market to educate people so that they know "GOOGLE STEALS YOUR DATA!" or "FB Follows you everywhere" etc and so that they have a reason to want to wanna switch. It's similar issue with Climate change or gun control or race. Many people just don't understand why this stuff matters and what they they should do now.
