W3Schools deserves a break IMO. Sure, it's not the best resource and I wouldn't rely on it when learning new things, but it's handy when you know roughly what you want and need a quick reminder of the syntax.

Even in that case W3schools is mostly good for getting in the way of the much more useful MDN link that should be the top result.

I agree in theory, they improved and surely the result of improvement should be a stopping of the punishment, but I still can't make myself click the links.

Anyway when I know exactly the method I want I just add mdn to the search to make it come up. Especially because if it is a specific method I probably want a deep dive, not just some examples.

The lack of information in w3s can cause confusion. I had a recent example when looking for an interaction in CSS that seemed completely bonkers to me that was immediately explained in the first paragraph of MDN. I decided to look up how it was documented on w3s (disclaimer: I hate it) and they never even mention it.

Sorry for it not being a concrete example, it was last week and I don't have access to my machine atm.

For me, "delving into epistemology" is critical. A straight-up answer, no explanation given, is next to worthless, as I have nothing to evaluate the correctness, completeness, and usefulness of the answer.

It's also host to a pretty useful experiment page to try things out yourself. It's great for whipping up small scale prototypes with.

You can also use e.g. https://codesandbox.io/ if you want to quickly whip up some prototype.
