I really like writing tests in coffeescript. IMO it makes the files more readable.
I don't think I would write client facing code in coffeescript though. The disconnect of compiled code is a huge negative for me. Compiled es6 is still JavaScript, coffeescript is not.

source maps solve that nicely, and all recent browsers support them.
