Looks interesting, not a fan of coffeescript.
The one thing that makes me cringe though, straight away, are the views Holy crap wtf is this:

Spoiler

# app/views/layouts/application.coffee
doctype 5
html ->
  head ->
    meta charset: "utf-8"

    title t("title")

    meta name: "description", content: t("description")
    meta name: "keywords", content: t("keywords")
    meta name: "robots", content: t("robots")
    meta name: "author", content: t("author")

    csrfMetaTag()

    appleViewportMetaTag width: "device-width", max: 1, scalable: false

    stylesheets "lib", "vendor", "application"

    javascriptTag "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"
    javascripts "vendor", "lib", "application"

  body role: "application", ->
    if hasContentFor "templates"
      yield "templates"

    nav id: "navigation", role: "navigation", ->
      div class: "frame", ->
        partial "shared/navigation"

    header id: "header", role: "banner", ->
      div class: "frame", ->
        partial "shared/header"

    section id: "body", role: "main", ->
      div class: "frame", ->
        yields "body"
        aside id: "sidebar", role: "complementary", ->
          if hasContentFor "sidebar"
            yields "sidebar"

    footer id: "footer", role: "contentinfo", ->
      div class: "frame", ->
        partial "shared/footer"

  if hasContentFor "popups"
    aside id: "popups", ->
      yields "popups"

  if hasContentFor "bottom"
    yields "bottom"

That looks like the atrocity that calls itself HAML!

And you thought I was overly opinionated about coffeescript ;-)

EDIT: Wait, it isn't. Wtf is that?

O_o It looks like CoffeeScript and Rails had a baby. Can't say I'm a fan of CoffeeKup, but it is MVC for Node.js. You can also just replace it with Jade.

There are much nicer ways to have MVC in Node. It's possible with an template engine.

Yeah, interesting. You can use whatever templating language you want.
