Full strengths for IceSL
It combines a slicer with a scriptable modeller, so infill patterns and geometry can be generated procedurally rather than imported from a separate CAD program.
Handles both filament and resin printers in one program
Per-layer setting changes and painted supports and seams

Per-layer setting changes and painted supports and seams
Profiles for printers well beyond Prusa's own range
No account needed, and the project says so plainly

Full limitations for IceSL
The program is closed source and comes out of a research group, so documentation and printer profiles are thinner than in the mainstream slicers.
