but honestly, how many developers actually designed the UI/graphics on the sites mentioned on that website? (Mozilla, Iomega, just to name a few). From what I've seen, it's common practice to have web designers develop the UI/interface, and developers code the... "page"/web app.
I can agree that perhaps they could've used "AJAX" instead of "Web 2.0" on the article, but truth be told very few developers are good designers, and vice-versa.
For the site's audience, developers (not designers), the article (which was written by someone from IBM, but could've been written by anyone, all they have to do is submit the content) hits pretty much the target audience.
For good looking web designs, designers go elsewhere, not developerWorks. ({Link} , for instance).
I agree that we need better looking "examples" of Domino based sites, but the UI is rarely done by developers at least in the big shops.

Just my 2 cents.
