I tried DDG a few years back and was of the same opinion as you until I decided to have another look back in August this year (which coincided with a switch from Chrome to Firefox). I'd say I find 90% of what I need now - ie I only end up using g! for one in ten searches. Probably fewer, actually.

(and like you, a lot of my work-related searches are technical in nature)

The problem isn't that DDG misses 10% and you have to try g!.

It's that you never know whether it's missing 10%.
