I've used it for quite a while now, so I can safely say it's not just the honeymoon effect. There are certain specific searches that I will prefer Google, for example if I know an exact string from a document that I'm looking for. Google still has a larger search base so if there's information that can only be found in one or two places, Google is more likely to work. Image and video search on KAGI is still a little bit finicky. I might use Google, DDG, or Bing for those (Actually, DDG is just a front end for Bing in this regard). For everything else, when I'm looking for information or answers to questions, Kagi is the best there is.
I've recently started using Qwant since Mozilla has partnered with them and I've been pretty satisfied so far.
What Google has over every other search engine is local results. There's just no getting around how much useful data Google has on every business in the world.
