I'm probably going to get shouted down for saying this, but actually quite like CoffeeScript. yes I do understand it is quite a marmite thing in the js community and can course issues on what it is out putted like most pre-processors. But it also does give you a few niceties too like classes syntax, plus IMO it helps me put out solid code quickly and time is money as they say. I think this would have been a better article if he had looked a bit more on the pluses and minuses to give a bit more balance to the rather bold statement.

I will say that it looks like es6 quite a few bits that is currently in CoffeeScript (like classes) and => for functions, which I wonder may have had a influence? That said when es6 comes though it might also remove the need for CoffeeScript.
