This is going to be in your generated Gemfile only. It can still be swapped, removed or replaced as everyone is used to do when it comes to prototype/jquery.

I still believe my original comment stands; allowing it to be disabled is the wrong choice. Allowing to be enabled easily is a far better option, imo.

DHH seems fairly convinced that CS "lifts JS/CSS handling in Rails to a whole new level. Very excited to have this as part of Rails". So it would seem the point of making it default is to make it so one can't think of Rails and not CoffeeScript.

I don't really have an opinion either way as my JS skills are minimal and I know almost nothing about CS.
