You do use your domain model into your views. Your view model is just a container of domain models.

Personally I have no problems with using entity or domain models in my views. I usually start with them. I switch to view models when the domain/entity model doesn't give me exactly what I want (instead of introducing logic into my views).

No other code is dependent of your views, which makes it easy to refactor them and switch models at anytime.
