Better to slice in native 3D program or 3rd party?

· Better to slice in native 3D program or 3rd party?
A 3D philosophy question.
"Ambidextrous means it won't work either way and Universal means you'll need a Harley tool and a torch." - Me
It is rare for anything to be excellent at everything. It would seem that Cura, Prusaslicer, and Simplify3d occupy the top of the heap of slicers. Is it a coincidence that it's all they do? Or is their excellence a product of their focus.
Give me a tool that is excellent at it's job. I don't want a hammer that has a screwdriver for a peen.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
