Wow, after reading the docs and several examples of intercoolerjs, if you ask me to describe it with one word, it'll be "simple", two words, "no over-abstraction", three words, "easy to pickup".
I develop desktop software for Windows, but I'm also interested in the web development techs - although haven't done any real-life web apps, I have read a lot of docs about most of popular frameworks you can list here. The first framework that got me think "cool, it's natural and simple" is Angularjs 1, maybe because it's so similar to the good old Delphi's GUI framework called VCL (Visual Component Library - yes! Component!), but you all know the story - it's "killed" by angular 2 and the version 2 feels so complex and so over-engineering to me :P
Now intercooler.js gives me a feeling similar to the one when I first landed the angular 1 homepage - it's not the same of course, but I think both of them made me think "natural" and "simple".
Maybe you think, well, you are not a web dev, but trust me, I've writing software for a living for over a decades, I know the pain of a framework when being over-abstraction, over-engineering, or being bloated. KISS, is a rule that fits in all fields, I guess.
