I would also say that 'quand même' is much more versatile, and frequently used, than 'nevertheless' or 'still' are in English. It seems like one of the those words, like saying 'beh' when you're thinking, or adding 'quoi' to the ends of sentences, that English speakers say to sound more 'French', even if we aren't quite using it right.
