Search sucks for some time now. I'd say the best thing google offers today is Gmail - but there are plenty of arguments against that too.

Google Maps, their traffic data has no rivals, unlike gmail which has plenty of good competition. It's the one thing I couldn't easily replace yet.

I prefer OSM since I can use the maps offline. Google maps is useless out in the middle of nowhere without any cell service.

OSM is great for everything non-commercial. Hiking path, finding a playground, public toilets or even the closest with few benches to eat a sandwich.

But for everything commercial and car navigation google maps is unfortunately much better.
