I've been using DDG for a long time. To date, my most common bang usages are still:

!g maps

!g <obscure programming error>

I still recommend it to everyone though.

Just a heads up, you can actually use !m or !gm to access Google Maps directly.

There's also !osm for OpenStreetMaps.

I just don't see how chording keys is convenient. !g is awkward to type on a keyboard.

it's not chording, you type them separately as part of the search input.
