I find these <strike>anti</strike>-CoffeeScript articles annoying. I use CoffeeScript, because it works for me. If it doesn't work for you, whatever, write plain JavaScript.

This article just argues over what is and what is not a language.

You didn’t read the article. It supports CoffeeScript.

Didn't read the whole thing, nope.

But the title says "CoffeeScript is not worth learning".

But the title says "CoffeeScript is not worth learning".

No, it says "it's not a language worth learning". The author's point is that CoffeeScript is not a language, but a tool for JavaScript.

I think it's quite obvious the title is deliberately misleading to get more people to read it.

Sure, but that doesn't excuse people from commenting without reading it.

The title is still misleading. It doesn't become clear that the author is advocating CoffeeScript until the end of the article.

The correct response at this point is: Oh dear, I will endeavour to read articles in the future :)
