I use Yahoo (flame me all you want), I use Firefox, and I do own an iPhone.
But I am not going to shut up about it, because Google is forcing me away even though they're the best at what they do.
I hate them because I care.
I am sorry but I can't understand your rationale. Please elaborate? What do you care about and what do you hate? Do you care about Google as a publicly shared company and hate the lack of focus in the growing company? Do you care about the web and hate the growth of walled gardens?

What specifically bothers you? If there is one thing I have learned from the Internet, it is that I am never first and I am never unique. Perhaps, someone else has found workarounds for the problems you face?
I don't know why anyone would choose to use Y! Search but Firefox is a great web browser and the iPhone is a great app phone (not that you needed my validation). In any case, wish you all the best. :)
As long as they continue to diversify and innovate they will have supporters... even if they often break their "don't be evil" motto.
