What it is

Midjourney still produces the most stylistically distinctive imagery of any image model. The Discord-native workflow is divisive but the web app caught up in 2025.

Strengths

  • Best aesthetic defaults
  • Niji mode for anime/illustration
  • Style references via --sref
  • Active community

Trade-offs

  • Less control than Leonardo + ControlNet
  • Discord workflow still a barrier for some

Who it's best for

Designers, art directors, anyone who values aesthetic over precision.
