The slicer software is the same as Prusa/Orca Slicer. (It's a fork of Prusa and Orca is a fork of Bambu slicer) You can use either and get all the same slicer features for any 3D printer. In short, don't choose a 3D printer for it's bundled slicer since almost any slicer can be used for almost any 3D printer.
Bambulab slicer is based on prusa but has more features like the plate one I mentioned. I also think it's more user friendly.
I do agree. Printer should be choose based on other factors but the slicer is just the cherry.
Bambu printers are excellent.
They are especially great for newbies. They just work. No tinkering. No replacing parts every few months.
They also print faster and at a higher quality.
