Maybe the second reason is because it's never mentioned? :-)
I always wonder why people seem to use the WAFilelibrary so often in Seaside development, while it's probably the most horrible experience to develop your js and css in Smalltalk strings.

IMO, the package has great value during development because it permits to serve external files via the in-image webserver. This means I can use decent text editors to edit javascript and css without having to install and maintain an external webserver (e.g. Apache) on my development machine. As for performance, I don't care about that during development.
