> I'd say the second biggest reason is the annoying user interface DuckDuckGo is the first website that made me want to install a browser plugin to change the way the page looks. (As for other websites that had a look I didn't like, I simply stopped visiting them.) The problem with installing plugins, though, is that I use several browsers on several computers, and to get a consistent look, I'd have to customize all of them (if possible).

You can customize a fair amount DuckDuckGo's UI using the settings page[1], most notably hover highlighting, color scheme, and header placement (fixed vs scrolling).

Not good if you operate on several different computers & browsers.

DuckDuckGo does have a very annoying default color scheme. Fortunately you can turn it off in the settings page: http://duckduckgo.com/settings.html.
