This is me. I love CoffeeScript and can't wait for all it's good bits to filter into JavaScript - but I hate having an "extra step". It's ok while you are actively working on a given project, but I tend to work on projects in big cycles and might not come back to something I was interested in for a year or two. The chances that my two-year-old coffeescript will run in the new versions of the compiler are slim (and my desire to port it low!)
The other day I found the code to a shoot-em-up I wrote in 2002 and it ran in Chrome with no changes required! Sure, the code was very "DHTML"-y, but that's pretty cool!
