    The original paper included source, and that has their test data and results -- it gets ~77% accuracy on about 20k example word analogies (with 99.7% coverage), and 78% accuracy with phrases with 77% coverage. You can see the test set here:

    It is not necessarily the case.

    For example, word2vec uses k-means clustering using cosine similarity measure [1]. It works very, very well. The caveat is not many optimization variations of k-means will work with that "distance".

    Note also that specifically for one-dimensional data, there is a globally optimal solution to the k-means clustering problem. There is an R package that implements it using a C++ core implementation [1], and also a Python wrapper [2].
