Maybe, but I think that's becoming less and less true.
For example, the only interface to couchdb is HTTP which makes working
with it feel more like Sling than Jackrabbit. And lately the emphasis
with CouchDB are "CouchApps" which are basically webapps that run inside
couchdb. You upload your site templates, html, css, and so on to
couchdb which can execute server-side javascript. It's not quite like
ESPs, but there are several similarities.
In some respects, CouchDB is quite behind Sling as being an application
framework, but they're working on it.
