Miracle Whip refers to itself as "salad dressing", and it makes a very fine one indeed. It has more sugar, vinegar and spices in it than mayonnaise does, and less egg yolk content per volume as well. Kraft Foods, the maker of Miracle Whip, makes a mayonnaise as well. Try tossing a chilled green salad with just a dollop or two of MW (just enough to lightly coat the ingredients) for a simple and delicious salad.
If you're working with a recipe for, say, potato salad, and it calls for mayonnaise, I would use mayonnaise since the recipe would probably also call for its own flavoring (sugar, mustard, vinegar etc.) to combine with it. Miracle Whip is already seasoned for a sweet, somewhat tangy flavor.
For a better idea of the taste difference, spread regular mayonnaise on a slice of bread and Miracle Whip on another. Your taste buds will tell they are similar, but the tastes are very different. I always have both in my kitchen.
