I heavily prefer it for simple sites. Once you start needing all the bells and whistles, you can look elsewhere. Right tool etc... Don't need twitter bootstrap for every blog or repo site out there.
Just yesterday I was searching for a decent coffeescript node.js generator, but the one's I've been using lately[1] haven't been up to date and this is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!!
Very cool; I'll be playing around with this a bit, looks like a nice and fast way to get started with a Node web app.
Side note: generally good practice to throw your name into Google (for example, "skeleton framework" or some combination of relevant words) to see what was returned before landing on your name (http://www.getskeleton.com/)
It's bad news, running CoffeeScript without compiling it to JavaScript first. If your code throws an exception it won't print line numbers. Don't take my word for it: https://github.com/isaacs/coffee-cleanse
I also take issue with the name. Node is extremely popular among front-end devs and others have pointed out the popular skeleton CSS base library.
Finally sprockets is obsolete for JavaScript, with CommonJS/AMD and tools like browserify and RequireJS. It's also obsolete for stylesheets if you're using Less or Sass.

Helps keeping code more decoupled and reusable.

I ported Skeleton CSS to Stylus one day using ideas from Stylus Boilerplate.

Then I made the css only logo (See and inspect @ http://heliom.ca/en/blog/skeleton) and couldn’t look back.
What you've just described is called squatting.
