They are both variants of the same source, but visually present it differently. I went from cura to prusa and that seemed more intuitive. Prusa to orca was a minor change.

I’m a big Orca guy. Softfever (the dev) is super active in the community too, brings a lot of the best stuff from other slicers and more. I started with Cura before moving to Prusa then Ideamaker for a hot second, followed by SuperSlicer and now Orca. I feel like most people who try Orca have a hard time going back to anything else.
o.k. so why did the first time I ever used supports, actually weld to my parts? It was defaults for support, but it glued to it. Ruined it, what do I need tochange?
interface may have been too close to the part itself. Which slicer are you using? Default Orca supports are (chef’s kiss) so I might lean towards a tuning issue. If using Cura, I recall the defaults when I used it a couple years ago were miserable but tuning the support interface distance made huge improvements
Orca, i changed a while ago but only recently needed supports. Cura i never had a problem.
But now that i think about it that was on my old printer too. Maybe i should try again

Totally agree. I used cura on the ender, so naturally kept using it on the elegoo.
But Orca is awesome so have now switched to it.

might just be as a user, but i find supports are better in orca than cura.
