OT comes with very different problems when it comes to representing tables. Structured content (tables, tables containing tables, tables containing quotes containing tables, ..) is much better represented using CRDTs.

And another note, Yjs completely supports the OT rich-text type (i.e. delta format [1]). This is how the Quill editor was made collaborative.

So Yjs is at least as powerful as OT. If you want, you can still base your application around OT deltas, but Yjs is IMO much easier to use.

Sounds interesting. Will give Yjs a try!

Great! :)
