You can't eliminate the slicing process really. Not unless you are using something like Zbrush that can automatically detect and anomaly in the topology of the 3d mesh and fix it on the fly.
I am not really sure what your gripe is with slicing to be honest, it's not like its a real pain.. I think most people want to be sure their print will turn out correctly - now or in the future. The Gcode generation for me is most important because no matter what program I use it will detect errors in the mesh - if I am going to print something out for 10 hours, I am not going to just take the chance and press print - I want a verification (locally, not in some cloud bullsh*t where I have to upload my 100mb mesh file first) that my model will print ok, or at least the shell is ok and go from there.
