After switching to Rails it's things like this I find quite amazing that people still have issues with. Rails does so much good stuff "for free", such as when deploying to production it combines all static files (css/js) into one file automatically and also minifies it. That means your 15 external http requests get reduced down to 1 or 2 tiny ones. I'm not saying Rails and Wordpress perform the same job - they don't, but I do find it amazing that other frameworks / engines don't adopt such obvious best practices like the one example I've given.
