Same. Switched for the privacy, stayed for the overall better results. Still hit Google for movie showtimes and some other functionality, but usually use DDG.
That said, DDG gets most of its results from Bing, so I'll occasionally use Bing search and it's good, too. The Bing chatbot can be good, but it regularly will type up a whole response that looks exactly like what I want, and the delete it and ask to change the subject. If it types anything that it thinks is sensitive it just shuts down.
