Consider migration from Coffeescript to Javascript? #105

When I wrote this initially, the Atom package tutorials were all written in Coffeescript, so I developed the package in Coffeescript to minimize friction for new developers. It looks like Atom has migrated their tutorials to Javascript. While their is some syntactic sugar in Coffeescript that is really nice, I actually find it a little easier to read Javascript on projects that I don't look at very often.

I'm not insisting in a switch right now, but I wanted to straw poll the developers. @jrbostic and @morekitsch, any thoughts?

Sorry for the late response! I think that's an okay idea... This project is the first and only place I've used Coffeescript. Would probably be best to stay up to date with Atom's trends to keep barriers to contribution as low as possible.
