Whether things we've learnt from working with Domino should ever be transferred elsewhere is a matter for debate.
On Monday I found myself half asking "How would I do.." and then stopping the question and just saying "Forget it, I should probably forget I ever did that".
A good example is the ?Open/?Edit idea of using the same form to view/edit content.
Once we'd got a page to show a blog entry I asked Mitul "How would you go about editing it then? Just stick &edit on the end of the URL?". He looked at my like I was a bit nuts, as would most people not used to working with Domino. In other systems it's more normal to keep the admin/CMS part complete separate to what the user sees.
Obviously there's lots of what I've learnt with Domino that is transferable, but there's just as much that could be considered bad habits and should be forgotten.
