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 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.
Linux builds come only through Flathub
Tuned first for Prusa hardware; other machines need profile work

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.
