CoffeeScript was great. It was vastly more pleasant to code in than ES5-era JS. Once ES6 came out, we simply migrated to it and moved on.

I still use CS for prototyping. It's easy to write and what's most important it's easy to read due to lack of visual clutter of JS. Once I have something decent I just take JS output and annotate it with types and work on it further debugging and optimizing.
