    MC was hard, Cura slicer was better, but I hear Simplify 3D is very easy to remove supports.

    Yep, slicer dependent.
    Most of the free slicers suck at supports (personal opinion). Some are better than others.

    Yea, with your printer dialed in they pop right off invisibly.

    Yeah S3D supports are awesome. I can remove all the supports by hand, while still having a nice first layer on top of the supports. I remember when I used MatterControl, seems like ages ago, I had major issues with supports.
