Why would you say sling is more elegant? I had the same issue a few years ago and found it helpful to have the two. I thought sling's specialty was as a RESTful API OVER JCR whereas spring mvc and now spring data allow me to have RESTful APIs over the rest of the app. I know that's a little simplified because of implications of overlapping functionality but at the big picture is that right or wrong?
