I find really well-written CoffeeScript easier to comprehend and scan, even though the community at large believes I hate the stuff entirely (I don't).

I'm just not sure if it's enough to make up for a less-than-optimal debugging experience, especially considering that most of us don't write really excellent code all the time.

No, we need Coffeescript, the mature toolchain.

I think it is a bit too early days for that. But maybe somebody could compile a list of good CoffeeScript they've seen out there.
