I would say they haven't changed much over the years, but I always quite liked them for just getting answers to simple things fast. MDN is of course fantastic, but generally requires more reading/scrolling and is therefore slower for simple things like what's the markup for a button or select drop down thing look like again. As for the w3.css style sheet, it's quite good for sprucing up small internal web apps.

You nailed it about the appeal of W3: It's quick to get to the point. I can read the first para and figure out what I'll be learning. The code examples are interactive and visual, and help enormously. MDN reads like a technical reference. Wordpress documentation is similarly structured, but it has a comments section with a lot of sample code for different use cases, which helps me figure out whether the function I'm looking at will help accomplish what I am trying to do.

  > You nailed it about the appeal of W3 W3Schools isn't "W3". It's W3Schools. To put it another way, W3Schools is "W3" in the same way that JavaScript is "Java" or Wikipedia is "Wiki".
