Quote:top search engines have been able to provide very relevant search results for some time, and they provide a lot more of them than DMOZ is able to do...

..So is there any value at all in the DMOZ directory? As a useful catalog of the Web, and when compared with the major search engines, the answer is no.

I'll disagree.  Half of the sites returned when doing a search on the top search engines are a bunch of garbage--i.e. 1-page sites containing nothing but a bunch of paid text links...I really don't call that "relevant search results."
