I'm not a great node developer, but I personally don't like CoffeeScript for the same reason I don't like UI interfaces for Git. I'm never sure what it's going to do. Yes, I could go look at the output, or go really learn it, but if my goal is to produce javascript then it's just another leaky abstraction on top of something that isn't that hard to do by hand. If my choices were CoffeeScript or ASM, then I'd choose CoffeeScript in a heart beat.
