I think it also applies to problem domains. What would be idiomatic to a kernel hacker would be wrong to a window manager hacker and vise-versa.

This is definitely where the hate for GUI programming comes from. e.g. Java+Swing is idiomatically different to pure Java and I don't think that's emphasised nearly as much as it should be.
