Should I learn CoffeeScript?

So, if I’m getting this, CoffeeScript (like jQuery) for the most part is a “wrapper” that allows devs to use a different syntax that they prefer over “plain” JavaScript syntax?
i.e. writing less and / or cleaner code

I guess it’s a trade off. The benefits of being able to write in a preferred syntax vs. any problems incurred from being dependent on intermediate code.
