I agree. I don't understand why they are attacking CRDTs at all.

I'm not accusing the authors of this, but some people seem to have knee-jerk reaction against CRDTs because from far away they look like magic. "Use this magic data structure and all your conflicts shall disappear." Of course, once you look closely you see there are plenty of tradeoffs, just like anything else.

Be specific. Which statements are attacking CRDTs?
