No, I don't think it is. It ilooks to me as if there are large blocks of code, within ColdFusion Builder, that were written by Mark Drew (and it seems I have heard that somewhere). It stands to reason that they wouldn't interoperate, as ultimately they don't just have similar classes and functions, they are the same classes and functions. From what I can tell, ColdFusion Builder has every feature that CFEclipse has, plus more. But, we're talking two separate spaces here: ColdFusion Builder will presumably be a paid application, whereas CFEclipse is an open source application. Is there a need to use both simultaneously? No, I don't think so. The only reason I can (currently) see for switching back and forth is if you are also using the CFFrameworks or MxUnit tools (which are separate), and I'm sure someone will write CFB extensions to emulate that functionality.
If someone wrote a warning into the installer, and I'm not saying they haven't (though I haven't seen it), I can see where there's a very valid reason for doing so. It's not an attempt to push out the little guy, or put you in Adobe's black box. It would be a valid warning to let you (the user) know that you will probably have incompatibility issues that will compromise your productivity.
