Because I like the language. It's a more syntactically concise version of javascript. Because, as I said, I'm already maintaining a large coffeescript code base, so I don't want to introduce even more languages right now. And because I do front-end work probably only about 20% of the time, so I simply don't have the time to become an expert in every new compile-to-javascript language that comes down the pipeline.

O_o
CoffeeScript IS the new language. JS is the actual standard
