It is readable. It is intuitive. It is minimal, and it has a small learning curve.
CoffeeScript syntax is very simple. It takes about a half-hour, at most, to learn using the language overview (http://coffeescript.org/), assuming you know JavaScript. There's also many well-commented examples you can learn from, such as Conway's Game of Life: http://willbailey.name/conway/docs/conway.html
Do you want to integrate a CoffeeScript library into your JS project? Compile it (many CS libs already have a pre-compiled version available) and use it. Hell, if you really don't want to learn CoffeeScript, compile it without minifying, and use the output for reference instead of the CS - it produces more readable JS than some coders I know.
It really is that simple. You don't have to use it - I only use it for large-scale projects - but you shouldn't get annoyed that people use it for their libraries. I don't want to argue this issue much, but I just don't see any difficulty involved here. I'm a terrible, still-learning coder who's still baffled by every Lisp code sample I see, but CS was super easy to grasp. If I can get it, I'm sure you can too :)
