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.
