Hi! I believe that Jackrabbit and Slide can coexist. After all, Jackrabbit is an API implementation, while Slide implements the WebDAV protocol. It is true that Jackrabbit has a server component that implements the WebDAV protocol on top of JCR, but last time I checked, that proved to be quite a hassle. There are a lot of incompatibilities between how WebDAV expects things to work and what JCR provides in its API. Also, Slide is much much older.. And fully featured using the WebDAV standard (no need to do "propietary" things like Jackrabbit does because JCR doesn't specify many things, including user authentication).
So, therefore, Slide and Jackrabbit do have different goals, even though they do overlap as you pointed out correctly. Maybe in the future, when JCR-2 (JSR 283) is done and Jackrabbit provides a compliant WebDAV layer, we have to re-evaluate. This still gives us a few years though. JCR (JSR 170) took almost four years to be released and JSR 283 is only six months old.
