Yes, complexity! What I meant by OT-style operations is a command queue with optimistic updates on the client, and authoritative updates made by the server. This is an easy way to structure your application. "Full OT" means you need to be able to transform any operation type against any other operation of any type. It's quite complicated to implement your application's semantics in terms of operations while maintaining the M*M transform conditions. Again, Replicache/Reflect.net is a very practical server-reconciliation based system that uses user-defined commands for application semantics, and delegates tricky merge situations to CRDTs; see https://reflect.net/#benefits:~:text=First%2DClass%20Text,st.... Notion also uses a command queue, but we don't use a CRDT for text - although I've been thinking about that for a long time |
