my 2 cents:

w3schools tend to oversimplify the concepts to the point of technical inaccuracy.

and the tone of the articles read more like tutorials instead of reference manuals.

Yeah MDN is the de-facto reference guide for web frameworks. W3schools feels like beginner tutorials. For me, I want “what happens if I pass undefined as the second arg to this function” and w3schools doesn’t answer that. It’s fine as a site, I suppose, it was insane when it outranked more complete websites. Off topic I see this more and more with Stackoverflow where semi-related questions outrank official docs.
