Do people actually use cheat sheets like this? IMO, the first stackoverflow result in google is generally what I'm looking for and quicker - especially for common things and common languages such as the things on this page. Even if you have the page bookmarked, you still need to find/search/scroll for the specific thing you're looking for. Also, with Alfred you can google anything even quicker by not having to cmd+tab to the browser.

Maybe not as a reference, but it's certainly helpful to browse if you're going from one language to another (I know python and I'm learning Javascript, this probably saved me a few google searches)
In the past I've enjoyed using cheatsheets to get a quick feel for the syntax of a language. It's nice to see a less familiar language next to a more familiar one.
I used a resource similar to this to get started with Javascript almost a decade ago. Reading through the examples start to finish is a decent intro to the basics.
