I guess what I was trying to say that JSF currently complement struts and the overlap is very small but I think future version of JSF would improve upon JSF current navigation model and would have an improved controller, validation ... and the two frameworks would be very similar and it would be hard to choose struts over JSF or even bother to use a hybrid solution.
Personally I think if struts 2.0 would be able to leverage JSF and JSTL and add IoC, cleaner interfaces, workflow, chained actions and JMX configured ActionMapping it would make it my ideal framework and would probably make it the best framework for medium to large scale projects.
