I'm confused here, Quill has a a very nice OT solution built-in to solve collaborative issue: https://github.com/quilljs/delta

Why not leverage that solution than just saying OT is incorrect and roll out a rudimentary solution? CRDT is not something easier, OT and CRDT are just 2 different beasts with different trade-offs.

Maybe I should clarify. From my understanding OT is correct when used with a client-server model. But if you have read the research a lot has happened since the first OT paper was published. The OT algortihm works well even for Google Docs and other open source solutions.
