> What are some real world apps using CRDTs that have really good experiences?
Google Wave and Google Doc's use CRDTs.
There's a fun blog post or two on how an academic paper completely botched it's benchmarks on the underlying algorithms by putting together a piss-poor implementation of Google Wave's algorithm and proceeding to claim the algorithm itself sucked even though the piss-poor implementation was such a mess it outperformed everything from every angle..
Google docs also uses OT not crdt. OT is easier to develop by an order of magnitude and even offline mode is possible to implement in a good enough way.
Nice blog post, but I really wish the author knew how to use apostrophes. (Or the difference between its and it's, if it's not the typographical character he doesn't like.) It's just so jarring to be reading along and be tripped up all the time with grammatical mistakes.
