  We study the reactive synthesis problem (RS) for specifications given in
Metric Interval Temporal Logic (MITL). RS is known to be undecidable in a very
general setting, but on infinite words only; and only the very restrictive BRRS
subcase is known to be decidable (see D'Souza et al. and Bouyer et al.). In
this paper, we precise the decidability border of MITL synthesis. We show RS is
undecidable on finite words too, and present a landscape of restrictions (both
on the logic and on the possible controllers) that are still undecidable. On
the positive side, we revisit BRRS and introduce an efficient on-the-fly
algorithm to solve it.
