I have nothing against CoffeeScript, and I've used it on a few things, but in general I find JS to be an enjoyable language to work in. If I had more issues with the syntax or something, I might find the switch to CoffeeScript worthwhile.
Agree. CoffeeScript has great syntax that I find very inspiring and might incorporate into my own language someday, but all in all, javascript is not that bad... at least not the parts that CoffeeScript can fix.
Well, you do choose Javascript when you could have chosen PHP and had even more overlap. Presumably, because you believe it is better for the tasks. Similarly, Coffeescript authors believe that Coffeescript is better than Javascript -- even if there's less overlap.
I don't use JavaScript for anything for which I could have chosen PHP. Given that PHP runs in exactly 0 browsers, what do you mean? Few people are choosing server-side JavaScript over PHP, though it may happen occasionally.
