I compile CoffeeScript on the fly while in development mode. In production, I cache JavaScript. Debugging JavaScript and writing CoffeeScript doesn't bother me much although it can get a little awkward at times. I simply consider CoffeeScript a nicer, less painful way to write JavaScript and nothing more.
