I agree with you that are some skeptics who will continue to move the goalposts. I also think that the tool itself won't change any minds.
My hope is that it can help early adopters get over the initial debugging barrier, which, despite the hype, is a legitimate concern. The tool can also be an aid for advocates in teaching coffeescript.
I feel like that's a pattern I see around here, which is odd because if you'd rather just use javascript that seems totally reasonable without an excuse.
