I too had the exact opposite experience. I found the HTML, CSS, and Javascript tutorials extremely intuitive and well-presented when I was in 7th grade. I ate them up.

Agreed. I don't depend on it any more, but w3schools helped me make the transition from WYSIWG web site building to hand coding.

Same here. Vastly more readable for a novice (like myself at the time) than W3C.

It might be approachable, but that doesn't make it any less horrible.

Yes, some people find it useful when they don't know better, but I suspect those people at that point they would have found almost any tutorial useful.
