That pretty much sums up my feelings toward it. I hope that changes, but right now I'm not using anything but Google and can't see anything else coming along better any time soon.
I think launching cuil was a mistake, why even waste the time to put out another search engine unless it's going to be radically different than all of the current ones in a way that attracts people... As in being different but giving people sub-par results instead of the most accurate ones isn't really a great goal to have accomplished. They might as well focus their energy on something else, there are already too many people trying to capitalize on the success of search engines by creating near identical new ones. We don't need any more Googles!!!
I like the look of the home page but the results are poor (and quite often completely irrelevant) and the layout of the results page suck. Humans are best at reading lists. Putting things into multiple columns for no good reason isn't going to work. There's a reason why it's a unique idea - it sucks.

Wow its been a year and I'm just now finding out about this AND only because of this add on post. How did I mess this when this thread went on for 4 months??? I checked it out--nice, simple opening page but thats about it. You'd think in a year that they would improve it or did they... It goes to show that no one knows about it a year later. No specific searches like for pictures. I'll stick with google. Or maybe elgoog.
