Fair enough. If I can choose between a shop that uses A vs B, where A is something I like and B is yet another link in the toolchain that gives me more trouble that it solves, I will choose the former rather than the latter.

And no: unlike someone else suggested down here, I won't suggest you move away from a technology just because I don't like it. If you like it, keep it. If it's needed, I will adapt like I always did.

Just to put things into perspective, I recently had to do maintenance on an accounting app written in Visual FoxPro, which is another cobbled up piece of absolute shit. I hate it, and yet I did it. I can do and did the same with CoffeeScript, but if I can help it I will gladly avoid it.
