I would agree with you.. It's simple, and when you are using Firefox, you can add an add-on that will allows you to customize your google (remove ads, add links to other seach engines, etc)..

Besides that, google will give you a more reliable search result, and the advanced seaching and all the secret (intittle, site, etc) make it really easy to use..

Most of all, I can actually use it to download mp3..
for example, try type this..

intitle:"index.of" (mp3) coldplay

This is probably the reason, as that is also why I like it, and anyway, Yahoo is blocked at my school.
Google is good because of its simple design, which doesn't need to download much information.
Its also good because it still has allot of functions, just hidden away, but still easy to find.
Overall, it just comes down to personal preference...
