Out of curiosity I finally decided to try comfyUI. It's sort of fun to use, attaching all the parts, but a lot of things that are sort of common back on a1111, at least in my workflow, are annoying to set up and do so I'm not sure how useable it really is for me. It has a lot of power, like I can do hires fix with a different model than the first pass gen, or I can adjust strength of model and clip individually on loras instead of one strength shared for both, or all sorts of other weird things. But I dunno I can't really see that much actual use case for most of that stuff, maybe I'm just unimaginative. So I'm sacrificing ease of use for a bunch of benefits I don't actually care about.
One thing I think is cool though is that it does some sort of RAM/VRAM trickery and lets me do sizes and upscales that would give me an instant VRAM error on a1111. I assume it's something caching related since it becomes really slow if I go past my usual boundaries (as in, 10x as long) but it's neat that it can actually finish the operation isntead of crashing.
I still don't really understand why it got (gets?) as much hate as I've seen it get, though. Gonna just chalk that one up to 4chan tribalism probably
