I think w3school improved a lot and I use it more often than MDN, as it's more "user friendly" per se, but to get full explanation etc I will visit MDN.
So w3school for quick check, MDN for deeper reading.
W3school is popular as it gets one thing done right: very user friendly esp for beginners, no one beats that yet.
- LeonB 6y agoAgreed. MDN is very dependable as a reliable reference. But W3Schools is more likely to have the exact example or easy to use little tool I need in the moment.
- mxuribe 6y agoI agree. While i love love love MDN, i can not deny that W3School caters to either beginners, or - in my case - someone looking for the quick answer; and they do a decent job in that regard. If i need to dive deep into a topic, yes, MDN is the better destination. But, sometimes it takes a little extra effort to get the quick answer from MDN. This is not the same for every single page on MDN of course. There were a few that i encountered that DID provide that quick, helpful answer...but just not as much as w3School. Before folks start to hate, i actually (happily) donate yearly to Mozilla, partly because i 100% believe in all that they do, but also because if there are gaps in Mozilla's offerings, i want to pay to help resolve them. I pay nothing to w3school - except indirectly when they serve up ads of course...but absolutely want MDN to be around for the long term, hence my constant donations to Mozilla.
