This is only tangentially related to your point, but Riot uses CRDTs for their chat system.

Maybe CRDTs are useful for implementing chat systems since the operational semantics for it are simple enough to make a CRDT system for it?

The blog post I've read in the first link seems to say that CRDTs gets very complex when applying it to a domain where there are all kinds of different rich operations. I guess CRDTs aren't fundamentally the right solution for the collaborative document editing problem then?
