Can someone give me a brief intro to orca slicer? Who is it made by and what's it's quirk?

For example prusa slicer, made by prusa, prioritizes user interface and has powerful almost modeling features (text, cutting etc)

Orca slicer is a fork of Prusaslicer

What are the advantages over Prusa?

Ease of use or features? Both?

I'd say all of the above. Its integration with Kipper is also very good
