Most serious strength routines advocate some sort of conditioning, whether its prowler work, hill sprints, metcons, high rep oly lifts or whatever floats your boat- conditioning is conditioning.
Shit I've been on 5/3/1 for a long time, and jim w always preaches to not ignore conditioning. (even though I do lol)

Yeah, I think they work great together. I really hate saying that I crossfit because it really involves everything. Are you aware that a couple of days each the WOD is a heavy lift day? It's not ALL running and jumping rope.
I remember one day I was working out at my "normal gym" with my buddy who is a personal trainer. Our workout included kettlebell swings and cleans and some guy came up and asked us if we were crossfitting. My buddy was so pissed I thought he was going to explode.
