Skimming the comments, there are two camps on W3Schools, those that find it an abomination, and those that find it useful as a quick reference.
It's replacement(s) should disaggregate the goals of programming quick reference and beginning instruction, realize those are different things with different design needs.
And maybe all other sites should learn the value of putting the information that covers 90% of use cases above the fold.
We've gotten a little too impressed with scrolling and the infinite canvas of a webpage, underrating the usability impact of scrolling around to find information, and the beauty of having everything fit on one screen. (I know, dealing with resized browser windows and different sized monitors and high-DPI is hard, but there would be gains...)
