I find Google easier and of higher quality. I have done the research and actively compared -- these are my findings.

Whoa there, cowboy. I like Picasa. And if, by that remark, you meant "what other applications?" instead of "me no likey Picasa" then I can name several -- Google Earth, Google Desktop, Google Talk (the only chat medium I use). I'm sure I can find still more if you like.

Like I said, don't get me wrong - Google is great. But a monopoly is how things turn nasty.
Also, I'd just like to add that just because Google doesn't distribute information about their users openly, it doesn't mean that they don't have that information. They know what search was made from any computer, when it was made and what links were clicked as a result of it.
