In other words, you don't have the option to set infill to print as fast as the printer can and also set the top solid layers to print slow for quality. Well, I guess multiple prints also suffered because Cura can't be set to do a retraction on layer shifts, an issue especially since Cura tends to always do layer shifts as the same spot in a print. I don't care for the way settings are grouped in the native Cura, but Repetier-Host repackages the Cura Engine settings in way that made sense to me.
Don't get me wrong - Cura is capable of some pretty good prints. I just sort of outgrew it. I basically got to the point where I didn't feel I had much of a choice but to spend the money on Simplify3D if I wanted an improvement beyond Slic3r and Cura. Sure, there are a few other outliers like kisslicer, but I opted to not give them serious consideration.
