I like pure JS over CoffeeScript (and other something-to-JS solutions) because:

- Writing JS gives me a better feel for how the language actually works

- I like the line number in the JS I'm debugging to equal the line in my source code

- There's less magic to understand & deal with

- CoffeeScript automatically returns the last line of a function, and I don't always like that

Only because you know it better...

Source maps.

Use explicit return then.
