Prusa is tuned for reliability and consistency. They occupy a weird and illogical niche, for people who don't want to have to tinker with their machines AT ALL but want to have the ability to. I personally fit in this niche, and I love my Prusa, but they really don't make a ton of sense for most people I think, and there are probably better choices if you don't fall into this niche.
The printing speed is slow AF...a 37min benchy on a coreXY in 2025, WTF!? My bedslinger does it in less than 30min.
The default Prusa profiles are incredibly conservative. They prioritize quality and part strength over speed. If you need the speed you can easily bump it to 200% with minimal issues.
