This previous HN discussions on OT vs CRDT paper is an excellent overview of the topics [1],[2].

From the paper conclusions "Our discoveries from this work revealed facts and evidences that refute CRDT superiority claims over OT on all accounts, which helps to explain the underlying reasons behind the choices between OT and CRDT in the real world."

The fact that the paper provided the refutation to one of the HN discussion points being made in [1] (i.e. reference to itself), regarding the claimed of CRDT superiority in its footnotes is rather amusing and the first such attempt I have personally seen in a published paper.
