The aesthetic king of AI image generation.

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.
