What can Entity Framework Migrations do that FluentMigrator cannot?

What can Entity Framework Migrations do that FluentMigrator cannot?

I have several databases currently using FluentMigrator and am curious to
know how Entity Framework Migrations compare.
Can EF Migrations seed data in migrations and selectively run migration
scripts based on environments like FluentMigrator can with tags and
profiles?
I am already using EF Database First as the ORM to my application, and I
think I read somewhere that EF Migrations are supported for non-Code First
EF as well now, but my team has been thinking about refactoring to a Code
First approach anyway because of some of the limitations with the Database
First approach. So would EF Migrations just make more sense to use rather
than have another 3rd party migration framework when going with a code
first approach?
