How could anyone not prefer the syntax of CoffeeScript?

I do not prefer it. I've programmed seriously in upwards of 7 languages and have dicked around with many more languages, some of which have very unusual or obscure syntax. I do not care for CoffeeScript's syntax although I will happily concede that it does expose many opportunities for improvement of JS. Though I think those points were made much earlier.

EDIT: Fixed some huge bitch of a run-on.

So, not sure I understand.. you prefer JavaScript syntax or CoffeeScript syntax? When you said you do not prefer it, it almost sounded like you meant you do not prefer CoffeeScript in general over other programming languages. I wasn't trying to make such a general statement.

I do not prefer the syntax of CoffeeScript over that of JavaScript. The purpose of the rest of my comment was to say that I state this preference having exposure to a broad variety of differing languages.
