1.) DDG results tend to be way spammier. Search a product name, get garbage results, rather than links to product pages at various stores.
2.) Index isn't as complete. I very frequently do site: queries on my blog/other people's blogs to find years-old posts that I vaguely remember. Google's indexed them, DDG hasn't.
3.) Google is way better at reading my mind. Vague queries, queries that aren't literal text strings, etc.

I also find that DDG results are often unusably bad. But I wish Google would give you the option to restrict your search to being interpreted as a search for that literal text. Those unsolicited magic results can really get in the way.
