I should have specified that I am referring to their usage for experienced developers working on established projects.

I think that they have much more use for someone with no/little experience just trying to get proof of concepts/quick projects done because accuracy and adherence to standards don't really matter there.

(That being said, if Google were still as useful of a tool as it was in its prime, I think you'd have just as much success by searching for your questions and finding the answers on forums, stackexchange, etc.)
