I also never use google, I agree with your reasoning as to why. I have used yahoo since the search engine was first available. I also have to agree that your results are a true result. What I mean is that I think that too many people pay for google and so therefore the results are based on who is paying the most or who is visited the most. Where with yahoo, you can pay for top placing but that is above in the shaded area and is not one of the rankings.
