I found that I could eventually power through the paper. I thought it was beyond me at first. Then I got angry and just shoved piece by piece into my head :) Not in linear fashion, and it didn’t happen quickly. Actully not that slow either once I got going. I found I was maybe rather more of a paper-reader than I assumed I was. Probably you too!!
So, what is your conclusion after reading it?

I found the arguments convincing, and will be moving towards OT in general. From outside it feels like OT is generally closer to how I tend to think.
Just after that it says "The contradictions between these realities and CRDT’s purported advantages have been the source of much debate and confusion in co-editing research and developer communities." That's kind of my question/confusion: people writing CRDTs really talk them up, and I can't tell what's true in practice. I have no way to judge the accuracy of this paper myself (I don't know enough to really understand it), so I'm hoping someone who knows this stuff in a practical way can shed some light on it.
