Just in case you haven’t found that one. They can coexist, but maybe not in a way you’d expect. Pip can easily be run inside conda. You can use conda to manage python versions, install some libraries and then use pip for the rest. That will totally work. What will not work are packages you installed before installing conda, but that’s because the python you run after that (installed by conda) does not have the same site-packages directory in sys.path. Ofc, you can install them again after installing conda, but they will be downloaded, unpacked, and possibly compiled (in case they do not have wheels) again.
