CQRS is Too Complicated (Rob Ashton)

http://codeofrob.com/entries/cqrs-is-too-complicated.html

"I think the main problem with DDD and CQRS is that they are misappropriately used. The vast majority of systems do not need this level of sophistication. What is more worrying is that .NET has adopted CQRS as their new and shinny.

I shudder at people using either for CRUD but I suspect it does happen."

--Paul Cowan
