If you want to use basic html, css, and js, you can use the flag --basic to the end of a roots new command : )

But yeah I'm thinking some option for custom default templates might be nice to add, now that you bring this up. Also, try coffeescript! It's great, promise

I guess I can give it a try, after all, I am tired of writing those 'function's all the time ^^

You won't regret it. Just give yourself a week or so to get used to it - it seems frustrating at first when you make syntax errors, but it is a life saver in the long run
