I'm the other way around, I only have to use !g for 1 out of 5 searches (Google still does a lot better when searching technical topics).

Although I DO get frustrated by DDG's image search. Google's actually takes you to the actual image URL, so it's easier to get a link for sharing. DDG shows all images through their weird proxy thing, such that you can't easily get the raw URL.

To get the raw URL in DDG image search, click on the image and then click "View File". This sends you directly to the image itself.
