I know it's popular to hate on HAML but we use it on a large Rails app and love it. I guess I'm more surprised at the number of people that are desperate to type as little javascript as possible but are fine with overly verbose markup. I prefer terse markup and verbose logic, myself. There tends to be more gremlins hiding in the logic.

> people that are desperate to type as little javascript as possible You've completely missed one of the author's most critical points. Verbosity isn't the problem. I actually hate CoffeeScript's syntax, but the language clearly reduces the thought-load of dealing with JavaScript. HAML really does nothing to reduce the thought-load of dealing with HTML, even if I might prefer its syntax to HTML's.
