Seeing a program written in the DDD way can be enlightening. Almost all programmers these days start with databases as a given. So they're writing code that in inseparable from the database and it's no wonder it all looks like CRUD. But a well architected program won't look like that, it will look like whatever problem it's trying to solve. Even something dead basic like a blog which is often the CRUD app tutorial shouldn't be about CRUD, it should be about "posting", "editing", "drafts", "publishing" etc.

You speak from my soul! An often underestimated fact is the future growth in features and complexity. Following the CRUD way this might easily end up in a mess, where you can hardly see domain concepts in all the technical code.
