A search for "vim users" results in a lot of unrelated stuff "coalition of energy users" ??? "my neighbours use too much energy"??? Compare that to google on the same search

What puts you off? Append !g to search it on Google. The google search is pretty bad though, including a top 10 list in the first page of results. If you're looking for the man page, simple append !man. DuckDuckGo is awesome, and I'm not sure what you're getting at. If you don't like the look, the advertisements, anything really you can change it in the settings. You can also sync this between computers. What's not to love about DDG?

This is how I see your search: http://i.imgur.com/crfmO.png

What? The advertising?
