I think even among professionals in general relativity, MTW has developed a reputation as being too dense and old-fashioned, certainly so for a beginner. If you're first approaching GR, Sean Carroll's notes or books are much more approachable.

True, but the question was about books that are like the Feynman Lectures. MTW has similar tone and breadth, and a similar reputation for being useless for learning.

For actually learning GR, I prefer Wald.
