Just kidding, I love Kagi and I get a ton of value from it! I always like the saying that "the best ideas are obvious in hindsight", and that is absolutely how I feel about Kagi. Being able to uprank, downrank, and/or pinning, blacklisting domains is a killer feature, and something that would have been so easy for Google to have done at any time. Their approach to AI has also been perfect IMHO. From the beginning they didn't have the models provide answers, but (basically, as far as I can tell) RAGged the results and summarized (and included sources). I find myself using that feature all the time. Also the ! support and generally clean interface make for a great UX. I also very much appreciate their pro-rating and transparent billing, and the prices being pretty reasonable.
The search results themselves are also better than Google (in no small part to my own fine-tuning of domains, i.e. downranking/upranking/blacklisting, but even just the vanilla results are better most of the time). It has been so long since I've had to !g something that I don't even remember the last time. I do routinely use !gm to open something in google maps though because Apple maps has not been a good experience for me, but I don't fault Kagi for that.
If you haven't tried Kagi, you should. Also play around with the lenses feature while you're at it, cause you can find some cool stuff that way that otherwise doesn't surface in the results.
Initial set up to make Kagi the default search engine is a little involved because you have to put your token in the query string, but the instructions are solid and once it's done, it's done. Very happy customer.
