I'm happy to see this. I switched to MITM from Charles a couple months ago. The documentation for 3.0 is, in my opinion, much clearer.

I think MITM had the limitation that you could proxy only traffic from the different machine. Was/is it the case, or did I just get something wrong? Because if that's true Charles has an advantege there.

It's technically possible, but requires iptables or equivalents. For now, if you want to proxy the whole machine, Charles is your way to go!

Are there any other advantages over the documentation between MITM and Charles?

Yes: scriptability.

I haven't used mitm 3 yet, but had a fantastic experience with mitmproxy about a year and a half ago, incorporating mitmdump into a CLI tool for testing android apps. Discovered 'lnav' on that same project too, and came away feeling empowered and grateful for those 2 phenomenal tools.
