It seems impractical to regularly code in CoffeeScript without being fluent in JavaScript.
FWIW I agree with you about CoffeeScript being a little finicky about the syntax. There's the bit a seemingly unimportant (non -leading) space char generating dramatically different results, and also things like:
if foo and bar is x
not grouping the way you'd (or at least I) expect.
