  > Taking it down would leave us with w3schools I've long avoided w3schools, but a lot of comments on various HN threads suggest the site has improved a lot over the past few years. If true, this makes me less worried about the future of MDN. Plus there's other reference sites I find myself using from time to time, for instance Can I Use[1] (which has a Patreon) and QuirksMode[2] (supported by donations). Monocultures, in my view, are not good for the environment - and that includes coding reference sites.
