The search function is not impressive. I put in the address of a hotel that I know exists (I have a reservation): "Finnegårdsgaten 2A, 2003 Bergen, Norway". It says "no results found". In the map window I have the OSM map of Bergen displayed with Finnegårdsgaten in the center (not as the result of the search) so I know the street is in the data.
Open GMaps, enter the same address, it instantly displays it plus on the left, a Street View of the building front, and links for three crucially useful things that OSM doesn't appear to have: Directions, Search nearby, and Save to [my] maps. I use all three of these features heavily when planning a trip.
Bottom line: they may have the map data (the Bergen data looks pretty much the same, modulo the different graphic styles) but they lack a lot in the features built on it.
