Oh wow, that is strange. Bundling CoffeeScript support is an great idea. Setting it as the default seems very non-user friendly to me. I love CoffeeScript, but if I was just picking up Rails and felt like I had to learn it I'd be pretty discouraged. I know that you could always change it back to regular JavaScript, but I think many people's experience is that it's almost always recommended to use the defaults when learning a new framework.
