#3Is coffeescript still hip? I used to read a lot about it on here, maybe a year or two. Where is it at? Mainstream?

Considering companies like Dropbox and GitHub use it (even outright recommend it), I'd say it's pretty mainstream.

There has been a development of hate towards CoffeeScript in most JavaScript communities. CoffeeScript seems to be very popular in the non-JS communities that need to write JavaScript, like in the Ruby and Python web development communities. CoffeeScript was designed for non-JS coders to feel a lot more comfortable writing JS.

I had no idea it was like that. I must say I have never used it, I write most of my JS with HAXE. But hating it seems silly.

I'm not so sure about that. I use it as an experienced JS developer because it makes a lot of needlessly complex JS operations simpler.
Most of those are features in ES6, so it may well go out of vogue then - I've played around a little and may well end up returning to JavaScript at that point.

CoffeeScript played an important role in the development of ES6, but looking forward, it seems to have a same-but-different set of features vs. actual JavaScript, which may doom its future.

I believe its married up to RoR, so I guess you could consider it mainstream for a particular niche.
That being said, I could never get over adding yet another additional layer of abstraction on scripted code that wasn't that bad to begin with.

I think it has a deep saturation in many applications where the server is in something other than Node. The shininess may have worn off a while ago, but I think it is still entirely relevant.
