How good are the MIT introductory physics series?

[Physicaa]

I was wondering, are the MIT introductory series any good compared to, let's say, Halliday and Resnick ?

Any opninion ?

MIT opencourseware you mean?

I like AP French's Newtonian Mechanics, I think it's decently written, but it's quite wordy and probably wouldn't hold up as a main textbook when there are so many other good ones out there.

As for the others, I can't comment, I haven't taken QM, optics, or relativity yet. I've been told that the series is a little outdated.
