for a long time, i used yahoo mail. but now, due to the un-ending amount of adds, i like gmail so much better. besides, yahoo's main page is crowded. plus, the default search engine in opera is google. you can also personalize google's main page to be just as informative as yahoo's yet better. and you need to learn how to create proper polls.

google>*****>yahoo

Edit: I love the poll BTW, all the Google fanboi's have to pick "Google FTL" if they want to vote, haha
Yahoo's been for sh\t as long as I can remember. Always found a better search engine at any given time over the years. And, to have a brand new search engine surpass the established ones in such a short time, is a feather in their cap. It ain't easy to dethrone established applications. There's good reason for Google to overtake and stay ahead of the pack. Their search algorithm put it there, not having it bundled with IP installation discs, like some kind of AOL marketing clone.

I'm a bit partial to Yahoo right now. I just visited their offices in Santa Clara last week and they gave me candy...

Yahoo > Google. but this forum is packed with google fanboyz so there's no question who'll win the poll

I really wish someone would explain how the Yahoo search page is cluttered. It's been linked in this thread a couple of times.
