Upsides
5) might come in handy, if you're a keyboard person: you can use cursor down/up to scroll through the search results, and Return to select (go to) one.
1) I came to like DDG's grouping of results by site. See a result and think that page's site might have more results? Click the favicon.
2) DDG is faster now than it was a few years ago. (At least it seems that way, for me and the things I typically search for).
3) Extensive bang shortcuts: https://duckduckgo.com/bang
4) Different, non-personalized search bubble. I like the idea of non-monocultures, which I guess extends to my search results.
Downsides:
-1) Some time ago DDG changed to requiring the same stupid quoting behavior Big G began mandating for required search terms, replacing +.
