I havent used the code and I'm sure it works well. However, we've been seeing a lot of unnecessary library usage. A lot of jQuery-based things that really don't need to be as an example and looking at the .coffee files here, I think that the JS it produces would be very simple. Why not just write the JS? Is there really a benefit from coffee in this situation?

It doesn't use jQuery or any other library; it is framework-agnostic. We had originally written it in JavaScript, but decided to use CoffeeScript simply because it's nicer to read and write.
