Perhaps this is just me using it the wrong way...but, for now, I'll probably stick to Google.

every search engine has it own pros and cons. i never expect certain one to win in all aspects. Judging the a search engine just by one example is clearly not proper.
For many times, Bing acts like a big time saver for me while google fails to do the same job. And, also, sometimes only google gives the best answer... now i use both of them: when Bing doesn't give me a satisfying result, i resort to google.

(Just for an eye candy, i personally think Bing's main page is much more beautiful to conquer my homepage
