Thanks for pointing to this question. Labeling things to be "academic" 
is often used to serve prejudice without having a deeper insight of the 
topics. It's really funny to read about Domain-Driven Design to be 
"academic" or is coming from the "ivory tower" (which is just another 
label). Let's assume that people using the word "academic" mean "far 
from the real world problems" then DDD is quite the opposite of "academic":

--snip--
Domain-Driven Design is not a technology or a methodology. It is a way 
of thinking and a set of priorities, aimed at accelerating software 
projects that have to deal with complicated domains.
[...]
Yet the most significant complexity of many applications is not 
technical. It is in the domain itself, the activity or business of the 
user. When this domain complexity is not dealt with in the design, it 
won’t matter that the infrastructural technology is well-conceived. A 
successful design must systematically deal with this central aspect of 
the software.

We surely can discuss about, if a new technology does not suit our needs 
do develop for TYPO3. But please, if you *judge* a particular technology 
to be "academic", "buzz", "ivory", or whatever, do it with a certain 
extend of insight. That might sound harsher than it was meant to be.

Ehrm, and sorry I have studied. ;-)
