We also had the OT vs. CRDT discussion with regards to our editor at Kitemaker (kitemaker.co), and also ended up with OT. For us there were a number of factors, but (in addition to the case you mentioned) it came down to the fact that (at that time) most of the CRDT libs like automerge generate huge diffs that we'd need to send over the wire and also that the open source editor we use (SlateJS) had operations that just slotted very nicely into OT.

Your editor feels really nice BTW. Well done!
