Reviewer scorecard
“Open weights mean you can self-host, fine-tune, and customize. ComfyUI + Stable Diffusion is the power user stack.”
“The fastest way to create clean flowcharts and wireframes. Constraints that force good design are a feature, not a bug.”
“Company instability and leadership changes are concerning. The open-source models are great but the company's future is uncertain.”
“Intentionally limited scope means it does a few things exceptionally well. Refreshing in a market of bloated tools.”
“Stable Diffusion with ControlNet and LoRA fine-tuning gives artists more control than any closed model.”
“Beautiful output with zero design effort. The auto-layout for flowcharts is magical compared to manual tools.”
