This is an interesting project, however I can't help but think it's unnecessary in CoffeeScript. For example the Neat component could be as simple as:

    {div, h1, p, br} = React.DOM

    NeatComponent = React.createClass
      render: ->
        {showTitle, neat} = @props

        div
          className: "neat-component"
          h1 null, "A Component is I" if showTitle
          "Coffeescript really saves a lot of typing..." 
          for times in [1..10]
            p null,
              "is this component neat?"
              br null
              "#{neat}x#{times}"

Just as clean (if not moreso since you don't have to bother with closing tags), and it doesn't require any additional compilation.
