It's an excellent tool for a web developer and designer, in part because it contains so many docs and can be used offline (just remember to install the docs you need, and check if they're installed before going offline).
One problem, for me, is that the docs are not always up-to-date. I look up JS and CSS data often, and on at least two occasions the properties I looked up had less listed support on DevDocs than they did on MDN itself (which DevDocs derives HTML + CSS + JS data from). If you're concerned about those, it's best to check the host page manually (MDN-derived pages have permalinks at the very bottom).
It helps that the project is open-source. It does not help that the latest commit is from March 22nd. EDIT: there appears to be plenty of pull requests for newer versions of docs, all seemingly...
EDIT: there appears to be plenty of pull requests for newer versions of docs, all seemingly ready for merging. Why they haven't been is anyone's guess.
